Point of order - the electrical grid can be really handy as a navigation aid when walking; it rarely changes (though, perhaps sadly, some long established routes are being buried here in the UK) and is fairly/very visible. Whilst the power line running down your street might not help, the line of towers across the local hillside might be the difference between wandering lost for hours and a fast route out. Map the heck out of it.

The trouble with Nvidia cards and Linux is that Nvidia decides to stop supplying the BLOB drivers at, seemingly, random. Obviously once that happens any hope of distros supporting that card with an Nvidia driver vanishes fairly rapidly. You may find the non-Nvidia driver works well enough, you may not.

Fundamentally it’s an NV problem, not a Linux one - I got caught out many moons ago with a truly ancient Quadro card.

You could argue that a distro should check your driver and refuse to install/update if it’s not going to be supported but that isn’t going to happen soon, or ever, because it’s not a distro problem it’s an NV one…

Never heard of it. Lived in England/Wales for 59 years… Will ask wife, who was a chef.

Ok. So now I know it’s what is used in steak sandwiches.

I have never heard or read its name before - mostly because it is sold in places I don’t frequent (or by food wholesalers) but also because I don’t often have steak sandwiches.

Every day is a school day I guess.

If he does it won’t make much difference to traffic flow - it’s usually at a standstill!
