    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.
