i followed a "install any linux distro in 5 minutes" guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly

as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane

anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing

also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection

The documentation is confusing. The official debian wiki does have a link to the page. That repository is maintained by Nvidia for datacenter usage but it works for desktop drivers as well.

The page below has a tool for how to add the Nvidia repo on different distros. It also has the option to set up your own local repo. Do not use the install script named "runfile", it could brick your distro install. Only install the nvidia driver through the distro package manager.

I do see that line about data center stuff and I think that just made me disregard it. tbh the entire documentation just kept giving nvidia the finger and kinda just made me feel like should go somewhere else lol
