Nvidia and Linux help

[mockedarche]

Alright im on Ubuntu budgie and i've been working on getting everything working correctly with my gpus and Linux. I am having screen tearing pretty commonly. This occurs with and without force composition pipeline and or force full composition pipeline. i've had this issue with gnome and budgie (idk if other wouldn't) and driver version is the most recent 440. I have a 1070ti and a 1050ti the issue occurs when regardless if only one is plugged in or both. I need both for work that I do. Do any of you use ubuntu and not have this issue? Do any of you use a different distro and not have this issue lmk. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Suggestion -- a different distro not utilizing a recource-hogging DE -- maybe eXtern OS

Try this may or may not work in your scenario

 

1) create or open this conf file:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/zz-nvidia-modeset.conf

 

2) add the following line:

options nvidia_drm modeset=1

3) update your initramfs

sudo update-initramfs -u

4) reboot

 

Side note: are you using proprietary driver from under the additional drivers under settings?

I like heavier distros simply because of support. I do a lot of work on my pc I need something with a lot of support but I also don't personally enjoy using Windows.
