How the narrative has turned Nvidias active sabotage into Linux maintainers fault is beyond me.
Latest for their reluctance to act on scalpers it should be transparent what you're getting into with Nvidia.
And then people like you write thing like this... Why?!
Wanna come configure optimus for me?
I think the disconnect here is that others are saying "they aren't supporting us," and your response is pretty much "lol, abandon what you're doing and go back to the corporations." A totally fair take, but how you're delivering it comes across as missing their point.
Also "it works on windows" is a terrible rebuttal in a discussion where you first say "it works fine on x11"
The problem is that nvidia's drivers are shit but we couldn't do anything because for the longest time, for nvidia cards to work at a decent speed, it requires the drivers to be signed by nvidia.
We couldn't do anything and you are blaming us for that.
Now that this, AFAIK, has been lifted new things like NVK are emerging.
The problem has been reluctance abd uncooperativeness from nvidia, not the linux community
Same on linux
on my nvidia linux laptop it works perfectly, thank you very much. (if you actually need help I can)
The cause is what should matter because that's what could influence future decisions.
And there is no Wayland mandate anyway so I don't understand that side of the argument either - there is no "Linux" in this room who decided to switch...
See and that's what's backwards from my point of view. Even though I was on win mainly back then I refused to buy Nvidia because of their shitty practices.
I'm talking about your and my behavior not about anyone else. :)
My base opinion is flexibility. You blamed first Linux then Wayland now you're what about AMD... What's YOUR point?
You can stick with windows and Nvidia your whole life all I ask is not spread your bullshit from your OP.
