Maybe focus on the drivers first?

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If they could figure out how to convince you to subscribe to a driver I’m sure they would.

That's all a GPU upgrade is these days.

They will never want open source drivers, and also the drivers work fine for me (4070 ti)

unless you are referring to them dropping support for old graphics cards which they will never support because ngreedia

Leave it to NVidia to think that adapting their bloatware to Linux is what will make Linux users come back to them instead of not making proprietary drivers that suck.

So they can shove their pay to play service into the Linux world

Ha! Far too little and way too late. Choke on your AI-bubble, nVidia!

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago

No thanks. My 3090 is purring like a cat on POP!_OS without their bloatware, and when the card finally dies its successor will be an AMD card.

[–] lethalspatula@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

This is great news! Still wouldn't recommend Nvidia on Linux tho.

[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Fuck you, Nvidia. I don't give a damn about your bloatware. Fix the drivers.
