    That’s the situation I’m in. 12 year old me did not know the problems Nvidia had with Linux, especially Wayland. My server on Ubuntu did not have problems with the GT 210 after all - which was to be expected considering it was headless and just used Nouveau.
    For it to be very hard if not impossible to swap in Laptops I agree, that’s true. For desktops it should be a drop-in replacement tho, considering the equivalents of AMD to Nvidia all need the same, if not less, requirements (Power, Other components, Plugs). Selling my 1070 I would get ~100€, which is the price of a used RX Vega 56, the AMD equivalent of my card. Considering I want to upgrade in the near future that would be pretty pointless however.

      That’s also the situation I’m in, I was also 12 when I got my PC XD

      But now that I got my RTX 3080 working with NixOS, I don’t think I’ll swap it.
