That 5% number is meaningless.
Lets start with what percent of all people who own computers have a Nvidia graphics card. Considering that the mass bulk of computers have a crappy integrated chipset, and there is also ATI/AMD out there, I can safely say <50%.
Among those 50% what percent are Linux users? Wouldn't it be expected the kind of people enthused enough to buy a discrete graphics card are also the kind of people with the interest to try Linux?
I imagine it is a number higher than 5%, maybe only 10 or 15%, but it is higher.
- akho 16y agoNo, it wouldn’t. Gamers buy discrete cards. Gamers do not use Linux. (In fact, I’m having trouble coming up with a reason for a desktop Linux user to buy a discrete graphics card)
- junkbit 16y agoNvidia is really pushing CUDA and OpenCL these days. If you follow the developer conferences the graphics feels like less of a priority to them.
