What are you even talking about? Hardware issues in Linux are neverending, not just Nvidia. How's your HDR support going? DRM support? Can you plug multiple monitors and have different DPI settings on them yet? Got AptX LL? Let's be real - fuck all works on Linux.
I have a 4k laptop display and use it alongside 2 1080 monitors just fine nowadays, Wayland handles that no problem
AFAIK HDR support still sucks though
Well, that's good to know!
Not sure whether this is sarcasm or not
HDR support is almost finished, raytracing is pretty much rolled out, certain drm works such as Netflix.
There is Aptx HD support, but I believe they're reverse engineering I'm sure Aptx LL will come eventually (or Qualcomm makes it easy). I have a friend that uses Aptx/ldac but I haven't bothered myself.
It seems the only things that don't work are tied to stereotypical anticompetitive companies refusing to support. Which is a shame because it's capable of exceeding the other platforms in ease of use.
You see, the problem is that support is coming. But by the time it comes, we have 10 new technologies, which are not supported yet. Linux is useless.
To be fair. AptX in general is niche and proprietary. That fact that regular AptX and LDAC can be enabled with one command is awesome considering they're proprietary.
Generally, if anything is a standard it's added much more quickly than other platforms so I wouldn't call it useless. It's a shame because Linux really has the best Bluetooth stack. It just works.
I'm hopeful SBC-XQ gains traction, even if I prefer an uncompressed stream, at least we have a better A2DP standard. Linux already supports this so it's ahead of the game.
Now now, saying its useless is a hair strong. It works wonderfully for servers. As a work station it can be a bit of a mess keeping perfect pairity with each new, sprawling branch of tech and standards. Especially when it's in a blind spot most people find convienent (looking at you webapps).
It may not work for you, and what's the harm in having more options for the consumers!
However, the evangelizing I don't understand.
