Why are so many Linux laptops NVIDIA? It know that we have the OS kernel + blob userspace option now, but it's still early days. My desktop is AMD, my laptop is NVIDIA, and the difference is night-and-day.
I would honestly have an IGPU in a laptop over NVIDIA, but even that option seems few and far between (this specific laptop being an exception).
- NavinF 4y agobecause they still don't officially support CUDA on consumer cards, only on the overpriced data center cards
- Gordonjcp 4y agoBecause NVidia works in Linux. Intel isn't really accelerated, and AMD is buggy and doesn't do GPU compute acceleration terribly well.
- nikisweeting 4y agoAlso all the AI/ML/CUDA tooling is written for NVidia, AMD driver support is terrible.
- _carbyau_ 4y agoThis alone means my 2023 computer build will have an nVidia GPU. I know next to nothing about ML. But even I can follow basic instructions to get Stable Diffusion or Spleeter or something to play with. Installation, configuration and speed to get ML stuff to play with is easy for nVidia users. Sucks for AMD. Source: current AMD GPU user who dislikes nGreedia but sees no other real option.
- olq 4y agoThis is completely false. Modern Nvidia cards on linux can barely get pixels on the screen and does not have power saving modes.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoI'm using an NVidia card right now for very high end video work. It works great. Why would I want power saving modes?
