On a different note, I do believe I read somewhere that nVidia would try to support Linux a bit more in the future.

"Supports more" is a strong statement. They released documentation for the developers of the open source drivers but in general, AMD is awful as far as their own drivers are concerned - and the open source ones still don't offer nearly as decent performance as the blobs.shatterblast wrote:I chose AMD when building my computer since it supports Linux more than nVidia. I'm not saying that nVidia doesn't work well, and I have used it in other computers with Linux builds. It is just that Linus Torvalds himself has bad-mouthed nVidia.
Yep. Doesn't change the fact that the open source driver performance is pretty bad and the proprietary driver support is awful.jjmafiae wrote:AMD is working on better Linux support as far as I know, they even released their mantle API for Linux.
I'm not arguing how much work they do, I'm questioning the quality.jjmafiae wrote:Nah, AMD puts alot of work into their drivers, Nvidia is a bit behind too.
