Dear Mr, Brown (I do not know you) 1.-2. Nobody forces anybody to build and launch OS distributions. But who does it should do it well. I am a very simple guy. I click the button (or some typing), if the program works, good, if not, then not good. I tested lots of combinations. And I saw very intelligent, easy-to-use and mostly error-free solutions during years in openSuSE distributions. Not nowadays. 3. I MUST emphasize: there is NO problem with the nvidia driver and its cooperation with the Linux programs. It works (they have also good programmers) - and if not that is THEIR problem. Some programs NEED accelerated driver, not for me. The problem is in the bad system planning approach and developing (Mesa, nouveau and OpenGL managing). Make systems for the users and you win my sympathy.
