Purple Cat with a PC-98 (and X68K) on Nostr: So one of my friends who built his PC bro bought a Nvidia GPU and today he complained ...
So one of my friends who built his PC bro bought a Nvidia GPU and today he complained that Ubuntu 22.04 updated and broke the GPU, after he just restarted it didn't work.
He found out that booting the old kernel would make it work after trying anything and I thought the kernel was corrupt (the fun of helping people online is you work with vague shit) but when he mentioned the video worked on 6.2 and not 6.5, I found the answer: he had a Nvidia GPU. Turns out this is an issue on Nvidia.

So here's my message
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST STOP BEING A DUDEBRO PC GAMER BUYING NOVIDEO GPUS AND BUY SOMETHING THAT RESPECTS YOUR FREEDOM LIKE AMD/INTEL
