Best Linux Distros for 5060 Ti with CUDA Support
Asked by

I'm looking to dual boot Windows and Linux and need some recommendations for a Linux distribution that works well with a 5060 Ti graphics card. CUDA support is essential for my work, mostly with video editing using DaVinci Resolve. I don't play games that often, so I'm more focused on reliability and frequent updates for both the distro and applications. I've considered Pop!_OS, but the update frequency makes me hesitant. Any suggestions?

I'd recommend Fedora with RPM Fusion for good NVIDIA support. CachyOS and Tumbleweed are also solid choices. Just steer clear of older distros like Linux Mint and LTS versions, as they may not fully support your new GPU. Go for something modern!

In my experience, almost all distros offer decent NVIDIA support these days. You can simply select the latest driver in the Driver Manager, or it might even be installed by default. I'd suggest starting with Kubuntu; it's user-friendly and has great software support!

You might want to check out Nobara or CachyOS for their excellent NVIDIA support. I've been running Nobara, and it's been fantastic for my needs!
