I've never experienced those supposed horrors across multiple operating systems (FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows 7/8/10), the only time I owned an AMD graphics card it was a total disaster, among other things I remember are really bad Linux drivers (proprietary or otherwise). I never had any issues with my current GTX 1080, 4xGTX 2080 workstations or the 2xV100 nodes I have access to.

> I've never experienced those supposed horrors across multiple operating systems (FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows 7/8/10) You've completely missed the point. The horrors are in compatibility. NVIDIA chooses to make it difficult for their customers to use their hardware with new applications, and they hold back the whole ecosystem. In addition to the topic at hand (Wayland), their release model holds back Linux kernel releases when their driver becomes incompatible with the upstream kernel because it is not maintained there. If you just want to run whatever boring applications NVIDIA chooses to allow you to run, congratulations! Go enjoy your "experience", and play it "the way it's meant to be played"! :- ) > among other things I remember are really bad Linux drivers (proprietary or otherwise) You're living about seven years in the past.
