It is an uninformed choice if you want to run wayland. That doesn't mean there aren't other factors at play. For example back when I was shopping for a laptop 2yrs ago, AMD GPU's weren't even available on most vendors. Even now linux vendors such as system76 and entroware don't ship amd cards on their laptops. CUDA dominating the Deep Learning space doesn't help either. That said my next hardware upgrade will definitely have an open source supported GPU or I m just not buying.
- anon1385 8y ago>It is an uninformed choice if you want to run wayland Creating a product that only works for people who already a) know about it and b) buy their hardware specifically to support it doesn't seem like a good strategy to achieve widespread adoption, which requires converting people who don't currently use or know about wayland.
- vetinari 8y agoNvidia goes out of their way not to play nice with Linux. It is no wonder, that Linux ecosystem will not accommodate their special requirements. When you are purchasing Nvidia, you are giving money to Nvidia. If you have problem with some software not working with a product your purchased, contact the people you gave money to for support.
