What is wrong with Nvidia gpus with regard to Linux? I have no issues with mine.
It's trouble is in that it severely lacks features that it have on Windows, especially newest popular stream add-ons like voice and background blurring, troubles with Ray tracing and dlss, and most infamous problem is that Nvidia drivers absolutely would break your system updates eventually, and it can break your whole system Edit: source: i have laptop with Nvidia gpu
The nvidia drivers can be a pain, and some distributions don't care about nVidia's support schedule and push a kernel update and nVidia will no longer compile.
Also, the fact that a kernel update means the nvidia driver must recompile is a pain.
I'm holding out hope for the open drivers (they basically moved all the proprietary bits to run on the GPU) to eventually mean that the premiere nVidia experience is already integrated at some point in the future.
Oooooor you can use in-tree nvidia driver
I'd rather shit in my hands and clap for entertainment
Nouveau? I've not exactly had a very reliable experience, and as far as I can see Nvidia doesn't really help to ensure that works in a timely way or a reliable way.
Lack of open source drivers and junk support from Nvidia.
Pardon?
I'm talking about the nvidia drivers themselves, not some hacked together drivers by a third party that barely work.
I talk not about hacked together drivers(GPL-shim) by a third party(Nvidia) that barely works too
Nouveau drivers are not made by Nvida? What are you even talking about? They are third party drivers that are not even fully functional because Nvida will not open source their own drivers for linux.
I am saying that Nvidia here is third party. Nvidia is not kernel developer.
Because Nvidia is a bunch of dicks.
