You fool! You own an nvidia card! The nouveau driver WILL result in 1/30th the fps that the proprietary card will if it works at all with vulkan.
In other words, it'd be fucking unplayable.
Also "it broke my system" is vague. What did you do and what was the exact result?
I built my computer 8 years ago when I didn't use linux and the gtx 960 was a new card. No need to shame me over not time traveling before choosing which gpu to buy.
I've tried for a few months to get proprietary drivers functioning, but the issue is that nvidia drivers breaks my x11 configuration, and whenever I try to make a new x config, x11 just doesn't start.
How did it break config? Is this a dual or multi monitor setup?
There have been issues with multi monitor placement, primary display setting etc that can get pretty fiddly to solve - seen it with different distros over many years of NVIDIA proprietary driver use.
Dual monitor, but when I install the drivers it turns to only one monitor at a low, non native resolution, and if I run X -configure or nvidia-xconfig it just won't start X
