I am using the latest proprietary driver on a gtx 1650 gpu and my distro cachyos preinstalls it

I’m semi convinced the downloads don’t work right if you use the GUI distros like Mint provide for Nvidia drivers

My 2080ti had multiple issues until I installed a different version (same issues) and then RE-installrd the original drivers manually

When I updated later: same exact series of events went down except I was able to get it to install on the third try from GUI properly because I wanted to see how many tries it might take for the lulz

I think it’s older cards and some sort of glitch in the proprietary driver manager shit most people use by default
