Who in the Linux community would say anything positive about NVIDIA?

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Hardware is pretty awesome. Everything else, no so much.

Yeah because they refuse to work with the open source community lol. Don’t care how great their stuff is if they’re borderline openly hostile towards Linux.

Back before AMD Radeon Open Source drivers became good, the best options were widely considered to be Intel for Open Source that worked, or Nvidia for performance with proprietary drivers. AMD was basically considered the worst option you could choose.

Personally I have always used AMD anyway since 2005 on Linux, but that's because I'm a somewhat extreme political user, and I don't like Nvidia for multiple reasons. My wife however uses Nvidia, because she was less stubborn, and AMD worked poorly when she tried it.

IMO AMD is the way superior choice on Linux today.

I don't get why so many find it OK to tie their development to 1 vendor? I suspect CUDA will die off in favor of a more open and flexible option.
