If you are gaming on Linux you aren't going to use Nvidia these days (or if you are using it, your next GPU won't be Nvidia most likely). AMD and upstream drivers with Mesa have no such issues.
Nvidia was and will remain a mess, I don't doubt that. But they never cooperated with the upstream kernel properly, so it has nothing to do with Linux, it's Nvidia's problem and a reason to avoid them to begin with.
And compute should get unstuck from CUDA too eventually.
- physicsguy 5y ago> And compute should get unstuck from CUDA too eventually. This is just detached from reality. They're so far ahead with library support, and other vendors are not investing in that. AMD's roc* libraries are terrible, aren't documented well, etc. etc.
- shmerl 5y agoIt's clearly necessary, so it will happen. It's not detached from obvious need to do it. There is work to be done for that, sure. But lock-in is not a good thing for anyone (Nvidia not counting). Nvidia was very dominating on Linux in gaming too. Now they are not because good effort was put into the open stack. Compute will be next.
