Tried Kubuntu 20.10 which had some severe Audio issues and other items, I radically decided to clean up my system and reinstall Kubuntu 20.04. Over an ongoing primal installation which has started with Kubuntu 15.10 (!!).
Been ever happy with it (well, most of the time). But Kubuntu 20.10 had some issues and therefore...
Now, I always used the proprietary nvidia-drivers for my
Yet, a fresh new install of the proprietary driver works.
At first.
But the display is getting blurry by the minute. The fonts seemed to be somehow washed out and crippled starting from a fine crisp display at first. I tried nvidia-driver-455, nvidia-driver-450 and nvidia-driver-390 (which totally refused). Then flickering, graphic artifacts, etc.
And after an hour I have to reboot or use the FOSS driver. The flickering and washy display is unusable.
Which is funny: because the nvidia-drivers *worked* from 15.10 to 20.10 on the very same machine! But a fresh new install of 20.04? Nope.
Now, falling back to nouveau works, but I'd also like to play some games with my Steam installment and I do think, that the nouveau driver can't compete with the proprietary when it comes to gaming. Also: do I have any chances to use the CUDA cores for some programming?
I'd like to use the performance of the original nvidia-driver. Agreed: I'd would be very cool and nice if they open-source that driver, but they didn't and I can't see them planning likewise.
Does anyone know of this and has found any remedy to that? Is this kwin somehow fiddling with the driver (composite stuff)?
