Apart from Nvidia, this feels like a non-issue for me nowadays.
- partitioned 3y ago"Apart from a majority of graphics cards it's a non-issue"
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoSurely a majority of graphics cards are the integrated Intel and AMD ones. Nvidia maybe has a majority of the high-end ones.
- partitioned 3y agoFair enough! My desktop bias shows again
- rcfox 3y agoUnfortunately, Nvidia has ~87% of the market share of discrete GPUs.
- vetinari 3y agoDiscrete GPUs have ~20% share of the entire GPU market. For the vast majority, this is a non-issue. Additionally, the Nvidia problems under Linux are very well known, so getting a Nvidia GPU for Linux is a self-inflicted problem.
- christophilus 3y agoI’m running Nvidia on Wayland (Fedora) without issue. Recentish (3 year old laptop in my case) card. Games work great via Proton. I can’t complain.
- planede 3y agoWhich Wayland compositor? Does it matter? I recently got an Intel iGPU + Nvidia dGPU machine.
- lordnacho 3y agoPeople want to game, and a lot of gamers want Nvidia. The driver may or may not work, but if it has a reputation for maybe not working, people will decide against it. It also possible that people who find out the Nvidia cards are unreliable on Linux are making decisions over other systems where this shouldn't be such a big deal.
- planede 3y agoNvidia cards being unreliable on Linux make me choose an other card instead.
