5 days agoNever heard of it. Lived in England/Wales for 59 years… Will ask wife, who was a chef.
Ok. So now I know it’s what is used in steak sandwiches.
I have never heard or read its name before - mostly because it is sold in places I don’t frequent (or by food wholesalers) but also because I don’t often have steak sandwiches.
Every day is a school day I guess.
The trouble with Nvidia cards and Linux is that Nvidia decides to stop supplying the BLOB drivers at, seemingly, random. Obviously once that happens any hope of distros supporting that card with an Nvidia driver vanishes fairly rapidly. You may find the non-Nvidia driver works well enough, you may not.
Fundamentally it’s an NV problem, not a Linux one - I got caught out many moons ago with a truly ancient Quadro card.
You could argue that a distro should check your driver and refuse to install/update if it’s not going to be supported but that isn’t going to happen soon, or ever, because it’s not a distro problem it’s an NV one…
