Now - the newbie user: It is *really* daunting to update a kernel and find, that Nvidia driver (and X.org) do not run on my desktop anymore.
Then don't buy nvidia hardware. Again, simple answer :) For quite some time Nvidia had better support on Linux then ATI. As a consequence many Linux users have Nvidia cards now. Is ATI fully open-source now ? Is that what you would buy ?
Seriously, I really don't care about companies that violate the license of the Linux kernel, and I'm not going to do ANYTHING to help them out. Why would you expect me, or any other kernel developer to do otherwise? With that attitude no wonder people are having serious problems with the latest security updates (see ongoing topic "Latest Update Kills Server").
Do companies help other companies out that violate their licenses? No, they take legal action against them. Does Nvidia violate a license ?
