If and when Nvidia's hardware works acceptably well out of the box on linux systems, there will be less need for annoyed forum postings and endless "help, please" threads. AFAIK Google weighs recently updated pages more than older ones, so the negative PR hits from badly behaving hardware should fizzle and die out in time. From a purely personal point of view, a unified DRM/KMS access scheme will be nice with Wayland in mind.
