On Windows graphics drivers are now userland because historically they were the top cause of BSODs.
- swiley 8y agoThat's a serious problem on windows because the only people who can fix it are the authors of the driver. On Linux anyone has access to the source and can fix really bad driver bugs.
- BurningCycles 8y agoAFAIK only part of the graphics driver is in userland, with the performance critical part still in kernel space.
