I feel like I’m from an alien planet. I’ve been using nVidia cards exclusively since around 2014 and while I’ve certainly not had a perfect track record, 90% of the time, I’ve been pretty plug-and-play. Maybe I’ve been lucky or maybe it’s because I stick to the popular distros.
In either case, from the perspective of openness, I do agree with the community that drivers shouldn’t be shrouded in mystery.
You just don’t notice what doesn’t work, like video decoding in your browser. You probably didn’t use a laptop with hybrid graphics. And you might not use GNOME, which has defaulted to wayland which was broken for many years. And you might use an outdated kernel so it never broke. And you don’t use software that used modern linux features like dmabuf.
Its fair to not have this situation but its an easy one to happen.
Welp. My gnome defaults to X11, and I am using laptop. That said, it does not use hybrid graphics, but honestly only using dedicated card works well enough. That said, fk nvidia. Their greed is overwhelming..
Yes it did fallback to x11 but it was truly a fallback, no developer used x11, features were ignored there, and it was just a worse experience.
