It's been so smooth and worked so long I'd forgotten how difficult Nvidia
could be. Wish I'd waited for 6.4
autofs still puts my machine in a death spiral but NFS doesn't. I blew a
drive in my NAS, vintage thecus n5200, 5 3TB Hitachi deathfarts, io error,
not a bad sector, even passed a bad sector scan and didn't fail til you
tried to add it as a spare. Found one exact model NOS on B&H Photo, had to
break all the disk caddy locks, no clue where the keys went, popped it in,
scanned/added/rebuilt itself just like it's supposed to, was amazing. Can't
remember where I commented it out or what I turned off to disable it while
waiting for the disk, has to be something I did.

Dammit, entered that, updated and plowed right

old nvidia cards for 4 damn days of hell. Now have both my dual

to downgrade ubuntu to
6.2.9 and fedora has issues in autofs now. Enable it and begins the
death spiral. Switched back to straight fstab nfs4 and seems ok,
scary.
GTX 2060 wants nvidia-470 FYI, always run
os--prober FIRST. Oh yeah
nouveau still sucks.
Oh right! replies go to sender by default! I know the original nouveau
developer. My solution has been to use Intel video, yet I don't do much
fancy!
