I cannot agree with this more! I'm so frustrated, since I actually managed to get nvidia + wayland (sway) working on my laptop, and an update of some kind broke my external monitors this week (I haven't had time to roll everything back individually to figure out what yet).
It's an incredibly frustrating experience, and I really wonder if nvidia realises the long-term impact they're having by alienating the tech crowd (i.e. the ones that give recommendations to friends, and decide what hardware their companies will buy).
- gjsman-1000 5y agoIt is important to remember that Hacker News and Phoronix and Linux kernel developers are within a communication bubble (like any forum). It may be because, in practice, NVIDIA looks at the size of us all... and yawns because we're tiny and because most tech reviewers still recommend them and most gamers still buy them. And they have a point - AMD has better Linux support, but NVIDIA's got CUDA (which has basically killed OpenCL and AMD's ROCm is less than a proof of concept in quality), DLSS, Raytracing, much better video encoders, a bunch of stuff that people are willing to put up with subpar Linux for.
