My Nvidia GPU was fine until gnome 3 happened. See, is not my fault. It had good drivers and decent support. Now I use only Intel because... well, it works. But I don't bother with 3D gaming, of course. My point is that you can blame the manufacturers because their support is broken, but you can't blame the users because they will use something else (I know I did: XFCE works great). EDIT: Gnome shell was initially released in 2011. This may or may not have changed, for better or worse. I moved on.

Nvidia is far from fine. To understand their attitude, read this comment from one of the leading Nouveau developers: https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/linux-graphics-x-org-drivers/open-source-nvidia-linux-nouveau/998310-nouveau-persevered-in-2017-for-open-source-nvidia-but-2018-could-be-much-better?p=998316#post998316 https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/linux-graphics-x-org-d... I agree, you can't blame users for it, but you can totally tell them to try to switch. DE and Wayland compositor developers can't spend resources cleaning up the mess that Nvidia created by refusing to upstream their driver and preventing Nouveau from working properly as well.
