This meme should die already. Nvidia has supported Linux better than any other vendor for 10+ years, and still does. For quite a long time, it was the only way to play 3D stuff.
- shmerl 8y agoNvidia's support always had integration problems, because they never upstreamed their driver. And Optiums (used on laptops) is an especially bad case. On desktop their diver kind of works, but has a ton of quirks because of bad integration (especially with Wayland). Today you'll be better off with AMD GPU no matter on laptop or desktop. AMD did a good job with upstream kernel integration (amdgpu) and developing Mesa for Vulkan and OpenGL (radv / radeonsi). I myself was Nvidia user for a long time and switched to AMD around a year and a half ago, when Mesa finally caught up features wise, so I know this first hand. Nvidia is clearly a worse choice today.
