I can’t believe I’m excited about a PC settings app, but here we are. Nvidia’s new software is an excellent much-needed upgrade.

Available or necessary on Linux?

Neither

Necessary and unavailable?

Eh, probably. Linux Nvidia drivers kinda suck

The first positive signal comes when you first boot the application, pitching a simple question: are you using this for gaming, or productivity? With this one choice, the app immediately reorients what it presents you with, making sure the settings that actually matter for you are front-and-centre.

Well, what if I want to do both? Selection anxiety will leave me deadlocked on this question for an hour while I look up what the difference means!

Well, when you figure it out, let me know!

The best part: You don’t need to login to use the app anymore, finally!

Ooh finally. Maybe they’ve changed that since nvcleaninstall is a thing

Oh so it’s finally useful again? I don’t know how many times I’ve installed the thing only to realize I don’t want to set up an account.

2010s was a wild time when every fucking shit service demanded an account and most of us just signed up with the email everywhere…

I am radicalized now haha

I installed it without GeForce experience when it started requiring the account sign in. No login might get me to use it again so I can update drives without having to go to the site to do it manually.

No thx. I’ll stick with the old control panel until they remove it and force us to use the app. Don’t fix what ain’t broke.
