Carlos, why the Nvidia avoidance? I've been trying to avoid the others for decades. I always thought that Nvidia had better Linux support, and we actually have some users taking advantage of Nvidia GPU's for data processing and presentation.
My current Nvidia card is no longer supported by Nvidia proprietary driver, I have to use legacy. And the legacy driver misses some thing (I don't remember the name, but I can find out, there is a bugzilla on it) that makes it be incompatible with packages such as the flight simulator, one of the few games I play, or rather played. So I'm going to try amd video this time, as I'm told they work better with open software.
Another.
Do you what is optimus hardware? A nice idea. Laptops with this can use the low power battery loving Intel video, but when the application needs more power it switches automatically to the Nvidia chip. Nice, right? Well, it is a pain in the ass (ask Daniel). Well, after so many years, they have now created the support for it in the NVidia proprietary driver.
but only applied to particular laptops, not all and now there is support. for many years one had to pay particular attention to components to assure they purchased equipment that was supported. not nearly so much any more.
Not very Linux loving, are they?
so they step up and supply something needed and get chastised for it? that's not your brain talking, Carlso.
But it is. Ask Linus Torvalds.
you need to examine facts rather than biased feelings and rantings. I might as well ask my wife (and she has absolutely no idea what the game of poker is, even the rank of cards.).
You say that Linus doesn't base what he says on facts? Ask almost any kernel developer instead. Several have spoken here against NVidia.
I do examine facts: My nvidia card is not fully supported by Nvidia. It is a fact.

I had Nvidia. Now I have AMD. I have a notebook with Intel. Fact: Nvidia, after having had a reasonable support through proprietary drivers, now does one thing in Linux: it SUCKS! AMD: since the OSS drivers are catching up with the proprietary ones and AMD decided to play along, the problems are nearly absent now. I have AMD on all my supported machines. No problem so far. You "might" need a dedicated Graphics card if you are doing high load videoprocessing or statistical and econometric modeling with mathlab, R or STATA (were STATA is more CPU driven), given CUDA. If not and if you are not a bitcoin miner: stick to AMD or Intel and let Nvidia fade away. Just take a main-board with graphics support. Suffices largely IMO. I am a bit puzzled over the argument. Nvidia is known to violently stick to closed source and even is going against OSS initiatives with inertia, denial of specs etc..... _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postfächer sicher & zentral an einem Ort.
