NVIDIA GeForce driver deployment in datacenters is forbidden now

Sadly I did find that with the latest gen $130 card (cant remember the model) there is no driver support in Debian stable, or the driver was broken (I can’t recall which). I have to run Debian unstable to use my card, which unfortunately has a broken ZFS driver...

I read that AMD cards were friendly to Linux, so after removing my NVIDIA card for stability reasons, I switched to AMD only to have other issues.

I’m still looking for an easy Debian compatible graphics card so I can do CAD (Onshape - OpenGL). The AMD card works now, but I don’t know what to do next time around.

Yes AMD have open-source version of their drivers for linux, so they are generally more stable/friendly than Nvidia.

I was using the open source drivers, but the version in Debian stretch does not support my card. I had to go to buster to get it working after tracing a long list of forum posts of people having trouble with this card.
