Adding insult to injury: every time I interact with that Nvidia piece of shardware (like shit-hardware but I'd fucking love to bash it into shards!) it causes a BSOD. Well a green one.. Insider Preview. So perhaps Nvidia hardcoded a lot of shit into their proprietary drivers so that they only work on the stable channel, or Microshaft made some changes to their shitty OS again. Either way it's fucking shit.
Maybe that's why NvuDiA is so reluctant to collaborating with open source developers.. perhaps they're too ashamed of all the certified shit lurking within! -
@zlice tried, same result. In fact it was mpv by default, I changed the default player to mplayer just to see if that'd mitigate the issue.. which clearly it didn't. This graphics card is absolute fucking garbage. If only I knew about this back in 2015 when I bought this PC, that shitty HP laptop that I ranted about earlier and that phone which got destroyed already.. if only I did!!!

@Condor most likely a problem with you being on an unstable development channel, those are buggy for everybody and introduce lots of failure
*Notices that SMPlayer takes a lot of the iGPU and CPU*
*Relaunches SMPlayer to use dedicated Nvidia GPU*
> I don't really want to play videos anymore when running on this card.
> MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
(that last one is an actual log btw)
Alright, got it. I bought this fucking PC just for its fucking "powerful" GPU. It already locked me into using WanBLowS on that piece of garbage. Yet now that NvuDiA piece of garbage is gonna act worse than a fucking paperweight?! Seriously?!!
FUCK YOU NVIDIA!!! Linus Torvalds called your shitty cards shit on Linux.. I call it shit on every fucking OS out there!!! MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
