  • I’ve gone 4 years on my Ubuntu laptop (DELL XPS-13) without any serious problems.

    My one year old Lenovo Gaming laptop with an NVIDIA chip, however… Audio randomly stops working and I have to kick-start ALSA to get it going again - Until it just blows out audio entirely and I have to reboot. My only work-around is to use bluetooth audio.

    So yeah, NVIDIA has some responsibility here. I don’t have any other problems on the Lenovo (also Ubuntu) either. That said, I’ve had few problems with GenAI or Steam video games like Cyberpunk 2077 on NVIDIA (other than audio), so it isn’t all bad.
