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.
