The nvidia thing is an interesting mention I wonder how much libglvnd will improve that situation with versions. It helps a lot with different vendors and would replace ogl-select

Hi,
this thread is actually very welcome to me.

I had 2 issues that refrained me from using OI as a regular
desktop system, that was the rather old firefox, but as far
as I know, Carsten Grzemba made this problem vanish, thanks
for that, it was a key issue. And a lot of driver problems
with older Nvidia boards, sorry we are still on old hardware
here:)

Firefox and Thunderbird are up to date (but you won't be too happy
with older gear as firefox is now a memory hog). For the NVIDIA cards,
there's a palette of old and new drivers that should cover all existing
cards:

driver/graphics/nvidia-340     340.108-2022.0.0.1
driver/graphics/nvidia-390     390.157-2022.0.0.0
driver/graphics/nvidia-470     470.256.2-2024.0.0.0
driver/graphics/nvidia-535     535.183.1-2024.0.0.0

You just have to use the text-installer and switch to the
appropriate driver on the actual installation before booting
the first time. Here we use each of those drivers ...
the nvidia drivers may should get a mediator to simplify this process.
