    Lmao, Linux developers aren’t allowed to use the proprietary software and firmware unless they’re completely non-profit, and even then if it is too similar to nVidia’s intellectual property it can still be taken down. Only nVidia are authorized to create drivers which use CUDA.

    The hardware manufacturers are intentionally making it difficult to use their own hardware, that’s got nothing to do with Linux, Mac, Windows, or any other Operating System because it was never their job to create drivers for every hardware in the first place.

      I honestly can’t believe I’m saying this again.

      Does not matter.

      Users want compatibility and ease of use.

      It doesn’t matter if Jenson takes Joe Biden hostage and signs an executive order to make reverse engineering illegal. It’s still the Linux communities road block to adoption.

          Year of the Linux desktop! Amirite! The Linux desktop advocates have to be the most clueless FOSS community out there.

        The distribution can choose not to include proprietary drivers. And not to “fix” it.

        “Ignorance is strength”, isn’t the strength of “linux communities” is enough to take nvidia down?

          And it’ll still be buggy if you don’t choose your hardware correctly, proprietary drivers or not.
