It does support Linux, just fine, on x11... It's also the only option for a significant portion of machine learning software.
Meanwhile we (or at least I) aren't asking any unpaid volunteers to fix anything. We're asking them to stop claiming their new software works for practically every use case when it doesn't, nothing more.
- SEJeff 6y agoBingo! I’m also asking him to maybe be less of a jerk about it. He complains about users not using his software while also (literally) saying “fuck you nvidia”. Hypocrite much? I’m a former GNOME software foundation member and was on the GNOME sysadmin team. I literally used to have root on gnome.org. I’m not the enemy here, but I’m being made out to be one because I use hardware that OSS stuff does not reliably support.

- gpm 6y agoIn general I don't want to name individuals, because I don't think that's productive. "Them" is a convenient way of keeping arguments from being overly personal. In this specific case I guess it is fair to say it's Drew, since he wrote the article we're commenting on. I don't think he's alone in his statements on wayland though.
