    Stop using NVIDIA on linux. They don’t respect our ecosystem so we should not be respecting them with our patronage.

          the we bit clearly implies you don’t think anyone should use nvidia gpus on linux but they have over 85% of the market share according to steam hardware surveys so clearly that’s a problem with linux if it doesn’t work well with nvidia gpus yeah nvidia should be less awful but people say linux “just works” now and yeah sometimes it does and currently even on nvidia it does if you’re using xorg works fine for me on cinnamon mint other than the fact I had to figure out how to upgrade the kernel which wasn’t super obvious how cause my bluetooth didn’t work cause my motherboard was too new but you can’t just stick your head in the sand when certain hardware has issues especially popular hardware there’s a reason nvidia gpus are so popular as terrible a company as they are and as overpriced as their gpus are amd is constantly behind every new feature they announce on their gpus is just a worse implementation of what nvidias had for a year or 2 I wish amd was good I hate nvidia but if you wanna play the latest games with the best graphics amd is just no good unfortunately

            It works but the performance is worst compare to Nvida on windows, I was loosing 10 to 20 fps not to mention that it had some issues with v-sync. I literally was having screen tearing on a 144hz monitor that had g-sync. That’s why I chose to get an AMD gpu when I upgrade I also got a 240hz monitor with freesync and now I actually see either better performance compare to windows or the same!

      I needed a GPU back in 2020, and attempted to go AMD. I found the opportunity to get a 3080 at msrp. I’m not going to shitcan my GPU and then spend another thousand for an absurdly overpriced AMD card. Many of us don’t have a good viable option to switch.

      what does “they don’t respect our ecosystem” mean? nvidia devs put more manpower, more hours, and more lines of code into linux than amd ever has or ever will. the drivers are closed source, who cares, I’m not rms and you aren’t either. I challenge you to find anyone doing real work on real computers with an AMD card. not gaming, not home desktops, not all this hobbyist shit. I’m talking chips pegged at 400w for days or weeks at a time work. machine learning, scientific computing type work. they’re all running posix systems with nvidia cards in them.

      if you want a seamless desktop experience on linux, go intel. if you want video games, go amd. if you want real work go nvidia. stop sucking your favorite evil megacorp’s dick and you’ll learn real quick that there’s a right tool for the job.

        Well that’s the problem I was getting 10-20% lower performance on Linux with an Nvidia GPU not to mention g-sync did not work and I was getting screen tearing and bad frame times with Nvidia. That’s why I chose to switch to AMD when I upgraded. Low and behold no such issues anymore.
