Parent is referring to the fact the Linux drivers are meant to be baked into the kernel and Nvidia doesn't wish to play ball.
You can't compare Linux and Windows when it comes to drivers, they have different methods of providing those drivers.
- dingo_bat 8y agoI'm sure Nvidia will be happy to include a binary blob into the kernel. I think it's Linux that refuses to play ball.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoYeah, and Linux's insistence on not having a stable ABI for drivers is problematic for Nvidia, just as Nvidia's insistence on not open sourcing their drivers is problematic for Linux.
- gmueckl 8y agoI can fully compare those, your wish to the contrary nonwithstanding: - both are viable desktop operating systems - nVidia successfully and consistently releases high quality video drivers for both
- TheChaplain 8y agoI installed Ubuntu last month, I didn't do anything special and the nVidia drivers are running on my system providing excellent gaming experience. So to me it seems to work just fine.
