Why Nvidia hate?

• sethhochberg 8y ago
  If OP is at all involved in using or developing for Linux, it seems justifiable... Their approach to linux support has been anything from "poor" to "outright hostile" for a long time. AMD and Intel do a far, far better job of enabling and contributing to open source development and drivers, using standard kernel APIs, etc.

    But my deep learning... As in, Nvidia's support for deep learning in linux is very good.

      AFAIK is deep learning the only reason to consider Nvidia at Linux. But if you do deep learning there is very little alternatives to Nvidia.

    I remember back in the early 2.4 days. Nvidia was the only way to play games in Linux. Things sure have changed.

  My one: nvidia is the reason I have to log in blindfolded 50% of the time cos no modeset... Or I can use nouveau and melt my computer. Yeah I know this shouldn't usually happen until starting an xserver but this is a weird dual nvidia GPU though apple GMUX and sometimes the GPIO bit setting the correct GPU gets stuck so I get blank tty before even starting x.

  Nvidia is horrible at supporting GNU/Linux.
