The same folks who are always shitting on Nvidia seem to all own AMD hardware
Many do… because they know Nvidia is plagued with issues. Why would they buy hardware they’ve had/will have issues with?
I had to get rid of my 1080 Ti because of how unusably bad the Linux drivers were. AMD has ran great, out of the box, on X11 and Wayland. Wayland has been great, used it for years with no issues outside of with Nvidia hardware.
Maybe when Nvidia gets their shit together and have drivers that work properly ill give them another go.
Yeah but X11 is unsuitable for modern computing.

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.
