What part of "dont throw money at them" align with "throw it out and spend almost 1k on a new graphics card"?
I am asking people not to buy nvidia card because of their misalignment with the open source sprit, not saying people should throw away their card nor stop switching to linux.
I am sorry but to me it feels like you just make up a point in your head, and starts attacking it as if it is my idea.
I personally do use a Nvidia GPU on my linux desktop, because it comes with the desktop when I brought it second hand. The GPU caused me problem but they are mostly fixable, since I am on a popular distro. But I would never buy any more nvidia hardware for my PC, because of their disrespect for open source.
