Why does Nvidia hate linux?
(lemmy.ml)
So I've been trying to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on my homelab so I can get my fine ass art generated using Automatic1111 & Stable diffusion. I installed the Nvidia 510 server drivers, everything seems fine, then when I reboot, nothing. WTF Nvidia, why you gotta break X? Why is x even needed on a server driver. What's your problem Nvidia!
They dont see a reason to their biggest buyers are in enterprise level and will pay for the extra support.
Common ML/AI stuff already work on AMD albeit not optimally (Tensorflow, Pytorch) and even some projects already work on AMD (e.g Stable Diffusion). Users are far better off creating a more generic branch for projects that would support CPU based acceleration (via both Intels and AMDs inclusion of AI acceleators in their products) then to hope Nvidia of all companies mess with their bottom line to give linux proper support.
