You may want to avoid NVIDIA driver 550 if you're on a laptop

If you are a laptop user, you may want to avoid driver version 550 because there is a megathread on the NVIDIA forum where users are reporting that this version is making their distributions randomly crash.

"You may want to avoid NVIDIA driver". End. End right there. The rest are just different shades of black and peril.

Never a bad time to start using #NVK instead, at least if the games you play are playable on it. I mainly play Overwatch and it's running well enough that I don't need the official NVIDIA driver anymore (though the official driver never did work very well for me, I mostly gamed in Windows on my laptop).

Thanks for the info. I set up a Pop!OS laptop and a desktop this week, both Nvidia, both have been crashy, so maybe this is part of my problem, on the laptop at least.
