- FredPret 3y agoThey both need to get this 1000% better stat. I think it's probably the best ROI the CEO of AMD can get - put a team of engineers on Linux drivers full time, increase your AI market share... and triple your market cap.
- unmole 3y agoI've had no problems with Nvidia Linux drivers themselves in the last 15 years or so. Yes, they don't play well with the rest of the ecosystem. Using Optimus laptops was a nightmare but you could still get hardware acceleration if you needed it, with performance on par with Windows. ATI on the other hand is a choose your own adventure kind of a deal.

- wisty 3y agoIf the GCC compiler has an issue, I'm in a lot of trouble too, even though it's open source. I guess I could scan the code and figure out any minor problems (or figure out why I was misusing it) but I'm not an expert in compilers, or even at tensor programming. Obviously it would be better if they're open source, since someone would be able to fix them, and it helps to know how your tools really work. But a better closed source driver is probably the right tool for most problems.
- ecshafer 3y agoI love open source, but this is just isn't true. If you are a company, and you find an actual problem with Nvidia, and you just spent some multiple of $100k or more on graphics cards for a cluster. You are able to get an ear and get that driver fixed.
