The attitude towards Nvidia is toxic considering some people need it for work and other people just don’t have the choice to switch.
Have you ever considered that we are in this mess, because of people like you? Nvidia is abusing their users and instead of admitting that, you choose to defend them and make up excuses for them. Think about what you are doing. As we speak there is somebody else somewhere making the same excuses for Microsoft, Apple, Google or any other shitty company. Nobody wants to prevent those companies from making money, we just want them to do it in an ethical way. If not, they can fuck off.
I didn’t make excuses for them, I’m not defending them. I’m just telling you guys to stop attacking people just because of the choices they made in the past. We should celebrate Linux becoming more inclusive and easier to use not scream at other people for making a decision weather it was informed or not.
Someone has a good experience five other people who never owned an Nvidia cards or is using a shit laptop chime in with a smug attitude calling them an idiot because they own a card that potentially runs like shit on Linux. Just let people enjoy their stuff, help them out if idk… They ask you what works best with Linux or maybe… asks for your damn opinion.
This is the toxicity I’m talking about, the attitude that people bitch and moan about everytime someone brings up the Linux community. I try to be helpful and friendly to newcomers but straight up telling people they should feel bad for making a choice doesn’t fix anything or making negative remarks on something someone is excited about.
Nvidia is trying to make more of their driver open source, the very thing you guys get a hard on about when you complain about it. It’s for the same reason AMD is open source(free labor and vulnerability patches) but still good because better experience.
And guess what, I own an amd cpu and even I can’t ignore them artificially moving the price of their new cups and gpus up the price stack while neglecting to release cheaper more obtainable parts like they used to. It’s almost like they’re all greedy companies and your stiffie for AMD cards are unwarranted.
Get fucking real, instead of getting bent you should shop for hardware like you’d shop for a toaster oven the features you want, the best value, for the cheapest price.
We weren’t attacking anybody. But I’m stick of people defending companies that take away our freedom.

Why should I be happy that proprietary software is easier to use? I want to destroy it. I want to live in a free society.

If we don’t inform people about this, it will get even worse. Nothing will stop other companies from doing the same.

But they aren’t free software yet. So there is nothing to be grateful for yet. Right now they are taking away their user’s freedom. People deserve to be able to control their own computers.

It’s not a battle you fight with random strangers. No one wins and you end up looking like jerk for initiating the conflict.
Here’s a tip, what good is open source AMD drivers if 0% of it can be reused outside of AMD products. Isn’t that as open and free as the mesa drivers or could it only benefit the community if and made their architecture open source too.
I see no difference between AMD and Nvidia because the drm for AMD cards is the hardware same as Nvidia’s self hosted open drivers they both use proprietary firmware one of them is just on the card. Stop shilling for AMD, it doesn’t look good.

This is an issue of ethics. It’s not about price or features: https://piped.video/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM
