My son was going to switch to Linux this week. He has a GTX 1060.

    Nouveau might be good enough by now for most games that will run on a 1060, maybe worth a try.

    Am I the only one that can't manage to make their Nvidia GTX 1060 run correctly on Linux? It has way worse performance than on Windows, even with the proprietary drivers.

    I've tried both Kubuntu and Linux Mint.

    I've got my 1060 running ok on Kububtu, though it was my wife's when it was running on Windows so I can't compare the performance. But I'm able to stream Cyberpunk in 1080p via Sunshine to Moonlight on my Apple TV, and it runs just fine.

    He wants to use Mint. This is what is called planned obsolescence. I say what Linus Torvalds says.
