They’re definitely not perfect but in my one year experience on Linux+2080ti, it’s totally usable. The Linux community seems to enjoy those overblown drama, at this point the Nvidia thing is basically a meme, pretty funny to watch.
Meanwhile my experience with my 1080 Ti was so awful I found it preferable to downgrade to an RX 480 for a couple of years.
You shouldn’t dismiss other people’s experiences just because yours has been different.
I believe that your experience has been alright, but Nvidia has definitely had big issues with Linux. It’s not drama, it’s valid criticism of a company openly hostile to FOSS.
You ok? Still thinking about this? Lol, I actually think Nvdia sucks big time! I get my GPUs for free that’s why I use Nvidia. I wouldn’t give them money, unlike you. Stop crying and get an AMD maybe?
There you go! Now look at you, all grown up and ready to not care too much about unimportant stuff. Good luck now! Enjoy your computer and remember, you can be nice to people you disagree with, it’s really possible.
By some definition. They have always been usable to some degree because I think animators or something use Linux commercially on Nvidia, and for gpgpu they are still top class on linux (nothing comes close)
They haven’t always been the best for gaming or desktop (Wayland) use though, since Intel and AMD opened up their drivers.
Arguably in my experience Nvidia has been far less buggy for the last 30+ years on x11, and with this change they may have finally reached parity on Wayland, haven’t tried it myself.
They used to be good, almost as good as the Windows drivers. Lately, though, they’ve been kinda trash and the AMD open driver is pretty alright now. (Performance isn’t as good but other than that it’s good.)
But it sounds like they’ve been shit?

The first sentence says it’s “definitely not perfect” and “in MY experience”. So relax, nobody is dismissing your bad experience.
I’m really sorry I hurt your feelings. I know Nvidia is close to your heart 😥

I do have an AMD GPU. Because I wanted one that actually works properly lol.

Maybe take your own advice.
And again, sorry I insulted the GPU company you care so much about.

I’m relaxed. I just disagree with your take that Nvidia drivers causing issues in Linux just being a meme and accusing people of made up drama.
The Nvidia driver experience hasn’t been “not perfect”, it’s been far from perfect.

They’ve mostly worked as advertised. One problem they’ve had was switching from external to embedded GPUs on laptops. I think that’s fixed now.
My desktops have all had nVidia cards for more than 20 years with no real issues. It’s a meme really.
