Really weird article. A bunch of snarky comments from the author that add nothing to the conversation. "It's been a decade since I touched an Nvidia card, so I'm just giving you the info I read in a changeling. Couldn't tell you if it was true or not, so fuck you!"

I am also not a fan of this website, but NVIDIA proprietary drivers are notoriously bad especially with Wayland, so I was thinking that people might find it useful and upgrade their drivers.

It's weird that you're being this defensive about it.

The other commenter wasn't chastising you for posting the article, they were commenting on the article and the author of it. Nothing to do with you.

Nailed it. Sorry @filister@lemmy.world, definitely was not a commentary on your post.

I don't feel like they are being defensive at all.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

"Your point being?" doesn't read as defensive to you?

Tbh, I didn't understand what the comment above that one was trying to say, so OP's comment was kind of what I was thinking. But then someone provided additional context, which was helpful, because of that comment. Yeah, it was a rude way to word that question, but I didn't really see it as defensive. Then the second comment by OP just sounded like a normal conversation, and that's when they were called out for being defensive.

The second comment is literally providing a defense for posting it regardless of the author

I think there's a big difference between explaining your reasoning and being defensive.

Gotta read the article.

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.
