linux always lags a few years behind hardware support. looking at this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1411830 makes me think 1060 not gonna work with nouveau on any kernel right now. another solution would be to try and install the proprietary nvidia driver from rpm fusion in dom0 but prop drivers are considered insecure. Not sure it will even work but maybe worth a shot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
