That middle finger salute is laughable. Nvidia is a money making corporation, it is not a charity foundation. They have no obligation to make drivers for open source OS, which gives them zero income. They have workers who have families to be fed.

I think the main complaint is that Nvidia do not disclose sufficient information to allow others to build efficient drivers for its hardware.

Those are company secret

These days they include Android phones in the count when you hear that statement

Notice how they leave out desktops...which is the sort of environment I'm trying to use it in and where it's failing.

Yep, it is close, but just fails at the final hurdle.
I am having issues with 17.10 and nvidia drivers, (massively high) resolutions, blank screens.
Perhaps go back to an older Ubuntu with the unity shell?

I would try Linux Mint before giving up.
|
|
|
|

No plans to give up!
Not that I intend to use it, I just need to get a kernel with some extra tracing/step through running so I can see why my USB device isnt working properly on linux.

I've been thinking about that. Perhaps something that was current at the time the latest Linux drivers for my video chipset came out. Maybe I'll do that if the system (now back on Windows 10) starts running into errors installing updates again...
It's important though in this case that I use something lightweight. Unity is all but that.

I believe at login you can chose unity 2D instead of 3D. 2D is lighter I believe.

I'll try to find out if/when I reinstall Linux on that machine. Right now that's not in my plans.

Is that the one located beside apartment 2B or not 2B?

It seems fairly straightforward to me. What's causing you issues?
