    I have a 1080. The drivers are great under X. I’ve been using nvidia hardware since 2003. Driver support has always been pretty good.

      But their driver support isn’t good, as is widely reported.

      Even by the guy who literally created the kernel.

        Linus didn’t say they didn’t work he doesn’t like their failure to play nice with others. You can’t use that cop out.

          Maintaining good Linux drivers for something like a graphics card very much requires work with others.

          It’s a big reason for why Nvidia’s drivers are pretty crappy.

          Calling it a cop out sounds like major cope. Nvidia drivers on Linux are crappy. There’s a reason everybody complains about them.

            Nvidia’s drivers for X have always been very good. Their drivers for wayland will be good before Wayland is

              Wayland has been good for years.

              Nvidia needs to fix their trash drivers, they’re complete dog shit.

                It’s now getting to the port where its sort of fully functional. In several more years maybe we’ll be to the point where users don’t need to learn about the plumbing like X was 14 years ago.
