- jsheard 3y agoThe friction between Linux wanting all drivers to be open source and Nvidia not wanting to open source their drivers isn't really relevant to any other platform besides Linux. Console manufacturers have no reason to care that Nvidia's drivers aren't open source, they can get documentation and/or source code under NDA if they choose to partner with Nvidia. Secrecy comes with the territory.
- weberer 3y agoIts not about open sourcing their drivers. Its about providing ANY drivers for their hardware. Also note that this was from 2012. Nowadays, they actually do provide decent closed-source drivers for Linux. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPh-5P4XH6o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPh-5P4XH6o
