Hi list,
oliver and me have been struggling to get nvidia binary drivers to work on his Debian stable laptop. Their intended use is with Gem, hence I would like to know if in 2020 the preferred way to install them is with Debians nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms package or with some install script downloaded from nvidia's webpage?
Furthermore, if the laptop has two graphics cards, one intel and one nvidia, which I understand is called Optimus™ by Nvidia, there seems to be the bumblebee project to use this under Linux (with one free implementation in bumblebee and one non-free in bumblebee-nvidia packages). This package also provides the optirun binary which apparently can be used to start specific programs with one of the two cards explicitely?
thanks for any pointers, I hope this info is valuable to others as well.
cheers, P
