I use ext4, but the fix was just installing linux-headers. I simply was of the impression that I had already installed those. Most likely I had installed them on one of my laptops and simply just had that vivid memory still in my head. Once I installed them the problem solved itself after a reboot.

Not for quite a few games. Some lighter titles might get away with it, but not a lot.

Yeah, that's what I did. But it didn't drop to terminal because it was stuck on /dev/sda2: clean. At first I thought it hadn't booted at all. Frankly I think that was simply the last thing my monitor got from the GPU before it simply gave up. So i had to switch to TTY manually. That is my best guess.

It's quite an upgrade from my previous setup so I cannot tell you if it is good since my comparison is a 1050ti... But they've also made improvements to the drivers, even on windows as far as I remember.

I did and I am quite happy with the state of them. Also Linus himself is using a B580 so it can't be that bad (he doesn't game on it)

Honestly I would've much more appreciated it if they told me to RTFM /j (I already had) (I didn't pay the slightest attention)

This is the way. I will edit the text of the meme to show the solution at the top. As I had said to another commenter, I could've sworn I had linux-headers installed. This is why you check even if you are sure you have a package. Hopefully someone having this issue will stumble upon it randomly.

Thank you very much. I could've sworn I had linux-headers installed. Frankly, I might've had them on a different device for some other reason. This is why you check your packages kids.

Already bought intel. I am quite fond of the B580.

Yessir. I did remove everything that was from the 590 driver before I installed everything from the legacy 580xx. I might have to load a kernel module somewhere, maybe. But the effort is not worth the payout. My data on the machine itself is not unrecoverable thankfully.

I have ext4 and efistub, and the attention span of a squirrel.

 

Edit: "Updating to the legacy 580xx drivers doesn't show me a desktop anymore", just in case someone else can stumble upon this by searching something similar.

Thanks to @deadcade@lemmy.deadca.de and @Ooops@feddit.org I did try fixing it out of curiosity. I had forgotten to install linux-headers. Hopefully someone who actually has the same problem as me, and needs to fix it, can use the tips given in the comments. On my end, I just had to install linux-headers and one reboot later it worked.

Always check if you have all needed packages and don't just "remember" that you had them installed.
