    I mean, by now everyone should know not to buy Nvidia hardware if you want to run Linux on it.

    It’s been more than 10 years since Linus’ finger to Nvidia.

      “Everyone” who wants to be informed, but linux is also for the unconcerned or for newcomers.

      Not to mention the monopoly that nvidia has on laptops.

        I know it would be great if we could install Linux on any hardware, but unfortunately we’re not there yet.

        So you can either buy a laptop with Linux preinstalled, from a manufacturer who will support it, or do some research before hand.

        And Nvidia doesn’t have a monopoly on laptops, you can buy an AMD gaming laptop

      Linux is becoming more and more popular on the desktop because it is now well suited for gaming. In addition to Proton, you also have to consider all the handhelds like SteamDeck. Valve certainly doesn’t want an Nvidia product with crumbling proprietary drivers. With AMD, Nvidia could see that there is a market for it and has now established itself. It was only logical that Nvidia would not stand still. They will do everything to dominate the market as well.
