I sometimes think Nvidia goes out of its way to screw with Linux users. Then I remember that are a tiny, tiny fraction of the market so why bother. They just have crap support for a market that realistically they don't even need to support.
Except for their GPU drivers for machine learning: that's a fairly hot market right now.
- currymj 8y agoI mean, technically, they are a manufacturer of Linux boxes (the DGX Station has Ubuntu preinstalled), so intuitively one might expect they would offer good Linux support.

- shaklee3 8y agoI'm curious to know what the bifurcation is between the pieces of the driver used for Cuda, and the pieces used for gaming. I think most people running Cuda are running it on Linux, and I've never had a problem with it. So I'm wondering if all these issues are really targeted at gamers only?
- paulddraper 8y agoYes, but the types of bugs/issues that plague actual graphics don't necessarily apply to CUDA.
- mishurov 8y agoThey don't have dedicated drivers for machine learning, the driver is the same for graphics and gpgpu. CuDNN and Tensor RT run on top of the drivers. Lots of DNN frameworks use CuDNN as a base for GPU training. Corporate clients use the hardware for clouds. I doubt that any sane person would run a cloud using Windows Server or Mac OS X Server.
