Unfortunately, half-assed vendor support is still quite compelling compared to no vendor support.

Unfortunately, half-assed vendor support is still quite compelling compared to no vendor support.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoIt depends on your use-case, i guess. If my intent would be using FreeBSD as my daily-driver "desktop/laptop-OS" i'd avoid NVIDIA like the plague, becaue without CUDA their unique selling point does not exist, but the hassle of some "switcheroo-black-magic" possibly persists. Which i wouldn't have with an intel-gpu, also less power draw. Even AMD is often supported in a better way, be it opensourced, or relying on their binary blob.
