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.....
well... there is a nvida repo in yast Yes, but it uses tricks to allow publishing, because it is closed source.
While I understand your dislike on principle, closed-source video drivers never caused me any heartburn.
But they are burning me now. I posted the bugzilla. Unsolvable.
Are Radeon drivers open-source?
My caution regarding AMD started a long time ago when the Matrox Millennium II was the preferred card for SuSE. IIRC Matrox and SuSE worked together on drivers. For reasons I don't recall, we moved away from Matrox and tried both AMD and nVidia. The drivers for AMD were rather crude at that time (late 1990's) and we settled on Nvidia.
I don't have direct and recent experience with AMD video hardware, but I'm told that they work together with Linux people, that they are rather open, and that things just work. But as I say, I have no personal experience. But given that NVidia gives me trouble, now, I want to try. I do remember that people commented on AMD troubles years ago. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
