The question in my mind is, I suppose, are Linux desktop users ever going to be a enough of a critical mass for Nvidia to care if they lose a few sales to AMD here and there.
My gut feeling says no.
- shmerl 8y agoLinux desktop alone probably won't be enough to force them to open up their drivers or to stop being a thorn in the side of Nouveau development. But further advancement in the datacenter from AMD already might push their concerns over the edge. Intel joining the high end GPU market with open drivers might also help speeding things up, including dislodging of CUDA lock-in.
