Why does Nvidia hate linux?
(lemmy.ml)
So I've been trying to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on my homelab so I can get my fine ass art generated using Automatic1111 & Stable diffusion. I installed the Nvidia 510 server drivers, everything seems fine, then when I reboot, nothing. WTF Nvidia, why you gotta break X? Why is x even needed on a server driver. What's your problem Nvidia!
I really hope this happens. After being on Nvidia for over a decade (960 for 5 years and similar midrange cards before that), I finally went AMD at the end of last year. Then of course AI burst onto the scene this year, and I've not yet managed to get stable diffusion running to the point it's made me wonder if I might have made a bad choice.
It's possible to run stable diffusion on amd cards, it's just a bit more tedious and a lot slower. I managed to get it working on my rx 6700 under arch linux just fine. Now that I'm on fedora, it doesn't really want to work for some reason, but I'm sure that it can be fixed as well, I just didn't spend enough time on it.
