Hey this maybe a stupid question. I am considering on buying a GPU. I am in conflict between nvidia and AMD. I know AMD works better on linux in general but I am curious to follow the NVIDIA advancements as they go with the new open source kernel modules and stuff… I don’t know if it is worth it to pick team green over team red. Also typically performance will be better with NVIDIA on compute and stuff like that.

P.S.

Yes, this is related to the previous post I made here.

    Are you mixing two concepts?

    The Open Source kernel modules will work with the proprietary Linux drivers which have all the features.

    There will also be Open Source drivers which do lack features. However, “Linux” still has the features via the proprietary drivers.

      I meant the open-source drivers and the ability for the community (or AMD) to copy, add and improve the features.
