I love the idea of opens source drivers in the mainline kernel. But from what I can tell linux + nvidia blob is still the more featureful, stable, and performant 3d stack for linux. I can stay logged in for weeks, watch bluray (with low CPU utilization), games, tinker with WebGL, and open a zillion terminals/tabs.
AMD is getting better, but doesn't seem quit there yet. Steam and phoronix still seem to generally agree nvidia is still the #1 choice on linux. #2 (stability wise) seems to be Intel's GPU. AMD's working on it, but decent performance often requires a custom build stack not supported on any current Linux distro. I'd rather not have to recompile my own kernel, mesa, and related just to get reasonable stable and decent performance.

- vetinari 8y ago> nvidia blob is still the more featureful yet which still cannot run Wayland/Xwayland+XGL. And you cannot do anything about it.
