Solve : motherboards with nVIDIA chipsets & Linux?

Answer»

Been TOLD on another FORUM to avoid boards with nVIDIA chipsets as many do not work well with LINUX Mint. Anyone know which nVIDIA northbridge/southbridge chipsets do (or don't) play nice with Linux?Don't know why Linux Mint should be different. The Nvidia drivers are part of the kernel and the distribution should not make a difference.

There is a Linux forum on the Nvidia site. And they have open source drivers.

I had always heard that nVIDIA graphics cards were the way to go for Linux, then was told the opposite was true for board chipsets. Guess the advice was bogus, huh?

Thanks for the link!
