From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not sure of exact windows comparisons, but 5090 had problems, and I don't think amd is ahead of nvidia by as much on windows.
There is certainly a very big amount of fuckery going on right now with nvidia drivers. I simply did not know it was getting this bad. Also, I find very interesting the nvidia "open source" bit got the criticism it deserves (is just not open. There was a transfer of responsibilities, and one small part got open)
"Right now" meaning every year for the past decade or two.
It's always something with Nvidia drivers. Performance+stability is more the exception than the rule.
That said, AMD drivers have a bad rep too. Personally I've had zero issues since I switched to AMD but experiences seen to vary a lot from what I've read.
Before that, I don't think I ever got through a full year without at least one weekend lost to troubleshooting Nvidia bullshit. CUDA is a pain in the ass even on Windows.
All my experiences with amd gpus have been fantastic, their drivers work beautifully and when they have even a slight issue it's been problems with protocols adoption and whatnot, never the driver.
It's such a contrast to the dogshit experience I've had with all the nvidia gpus I use, I really can't think of a reason except cuda that a Linux user should get a nvidia device.
I hope when the people adopting Linux now start building their next pc demand for nvidia noticeably shrinks. Or maybe they'd be bankrupt by then because of the ai bubble crash
AMD winning by far on windows if you factor value into the equation
