The claims about their IP being stolen are not credible. For one, AMD has an open source graphics stack and none of their IP has been stolen. Furthermore, Nvidia actually has pretty good support for nouveau (open source driver) on the Tegra

I am talking about "old" hardware that is no longer supported on Windows. The Linux kernel does not intentionally remove support for working hardware. Do you think you could get a Geforce 2 working on Windows 10? You could get it
