I know of these famed Nvidia driver problems, but they’re a) not exclusive to Ubuntu; Nvidia is the party fucking up here, so they’re rumoured to be unstable throughout all distros and b) I’ve been running Debian-/Ubuntu-based Linux distros w/ Nvidia’s proprietary drivers for about 10 years now, and I haven’t come across a single issue with it in all that time. So. Well. That’s anecdotal evidence against anecdotal evidence, I guess.
