Original: Got the "new" computer going with # LinuxMint XFCE PS: NVIDIA drivers work! :blob_cat_melt: # Linux # OpenSource
A Linux user reports successfully setting up a computer running Linux Mint with the XFCE desktop environment, noting that NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers are working. NVIDIA driver installation has historically been a common pain point on Linux, so reports of smooth setup are often shared and discussed within the open-source community.
Why now: NVIDIA driver setup on Linux is a well-known frustration, so a report of it working out of the box resonates with the community.
