The people who are yapping about this kind of stuff literally haven’t even looked around or explored any of the options. Nvid drivers running flawlessly for years.
I tried Fedora, Debian, Bazzite, Nobara, CachyOS and some others I cannot recall. Not working ranged from jot being able to get through initial setup (fedora after install), not being able to install at all, unexplained graphical glitches everywhere and performance under any kind of load being worse than playing on a laptop.
I’ve used nearly every one of those distros and I’ve never had problems. Based on what you’re describing, it doesn’t sound like problems that exist inside the driver. Best of luck to you.
I’m also on Fedora with a 5060 and that’s my only issue after getting it setup and fixing the initial black screen on boot. Runs games and my own CUDA code well.
I haven’t actually tried sleeping the system. It’s a desktop, so it isn’t something I generally do. I’ll give it a try later tonight and let you know what happens.
You’re on a newer everything than me, except the hardware. I’m on Fedora 43, with kernel 6.19.11 (or 6.19.12? I don’t remember exactly), and driver version 580.x, with an RTX 5060. I’ll send a pic of the system info once I get home from work.
Note that I can’t update to Fedora 44 currently because my WiFi is borked.
I’m on nobara and it’s generally fine, until I try to plug in my TV via hdmi to game or watch tv from the bed. Idk if it’s just that TV, or if it’s having 3 displays, or even just mixing DP and HDMI, but it flips its shit when I do that. I plan to troubleshoot at some point when I’m not in such a cramped space.
My Nvidia driver has worked flawlessly in Fedora for the past 3 years. Not a single issue.

I’ve tried 6 different distros on my pc with nvidia graphics and none of them worked the way they shoudl have.
What distros have you actually tried? And what does “not working like they should have” actually mean?

I’ve hobestly given up on linux for my desktop at least for a while. Mihht try it again in a year or so but rn it just does not seem destined to be.
I’ve tried several times over the years. My laptop has been running fedora for 4 years now

Had nvidia spectacularly fail on Fedora
How did you get sleep to work?

Warning, you might need to hard reboot because it won’t wake up from sleep
I just tested putting my desktop to sleep this morning and everything seems to have woken back up correctly.
Here’s the system summary if you’re curious:

Sorry I forgot yesterday, but here it is now:
