Yeah because they refuse to work with the open source community lol. Don’t care how great their stuff is if they’re borderline openly hostile towards Linux.
Back before AMD Radeon Open Source drivers became good, the best options were widely considered to be Intel for Open Source that worked, or Nvidia for performance with proprietary drivers. AMD was basically considered the worst option you could choose.
Personally I have always used AMD anyway since 2005 on Linux, but that’s because I’m a somewhat extreme political user, and I don’t like Nvidia for multiple reasons. My wife however uses Nvidia, because she was less stubborn, and AMD worked poorly when she tried it.
IMO AMD is the way superior choice on Linux today.
Weirdly enough, I’ve never been happier with Linux since I discovered Wayland with Fedora. I’m one year on my Linux journey at this point, my desktop never felt so polished. It actually feels like a competitor to Windows and MacOS now (at least for me) and yes, I use NVIDIA under Wayland
And that said one guy is actually an alt account of someone who was banned a long time ago, so the guy is literally evading a ban, and yet Michael is doing jack shit about it. Guess it works on his end as it is “hurr durr interaction”.
Don’t even mention anything about Nvidia. Basically it’s just a call for an infinite flamewar between everyone and one guy
Who in the Linux community would say anything positive about NVIDIA?
Hardware is pretty awesome. Everything else, no so much.

to be fair they are hostile towards everybody, the partners, the employees, the consumers, the media, etc.
EVGA left GPU business because of nVidia’s shenanigans.

CUDA is great.
I don’t get why so many find it OK to tie their development to 1 vendor? I suspect CUDA will die off in favor of a more open and flexible option.
Wayland + Nvidia = 💥
I can’t tell if you’re saying Wayland + Nvidia is da bomb, or Wayland + Nvidia will fuck your system up.
From my experience with Nvidia, it’s both.
So it’s da bomb that fuck your system up?

Yeah but fr, fuck nvidia.
But Linus said something funny ten years ago, that means it’s 100% true for everyone forever!
