The message is NOT an error message; it is purely informative: kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. kernel: Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint kernel: nvidia: module license taints kernel. The "taint" warning is because the Nvidia module is not a part of the kernel tree. Nvidia is the ONLY out-of-tree module that I use. Its performance beats everything else. Check this out for a 2K screen: __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 glxgears -fullscreen 251510 frames in 5.0 seconds = 50301.891 FPS 252113 frames in 5.0 seconds = 50422.602 FPS 251475 frames in 5.0 seconds = 50294.918 FPS 251665 frames in 5.0 seconds = 50332.980 FPS .... Holy godzilla mutherfuckers! And I am using "old" Nvidia hardware: NVIDIA Corporation TU116 [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_16_series Post your glxgears numbers -- if you dare, Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Distro lackeys haven't a fucking clue what crippled shit has been shoved up their asses. For one thing, all their logging is done via the bloated systemd. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
