So I’ve been trying to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on my homelab so I can get my fine ass art generated using Automatic1111 & Stable diffusion. I installed the Nvidia 510 server drivers, everything seems fine, then when I reboot, nothing. WTF Nvidia, why you gotta break X? Why is x even needed on a server driver. What’s your problem Nvidia!
Nvidia doesn’t hate linux, it just don’t care and the linux community hates nvidia
amd didn’t care a few years ago, but their drivers are open, so the community can fix it even if the company don’t care(now amd care a lot more, so it’s better) nvidia is a closed source crap, and it don’t give a fuck too
Takes about 8 hrs to setup properly. But once you do set your Nvidia card with Linux, you just never update your OS and cry to sleep every night.

Yikes… I hoped that Daz3D would just work fine with Iray for my next nvidia card. Add to this that I was planning to switch to Vanilla OS because I don’t want to hack my system or accidentally bork it 😑.
This is my life now.
Companies love to use open source software to reduce their development costs. They hate to contribute back.
Switched to high powered AMD GPUs years ago… No regrets. Awesome graphics, better support, and a better price point usually.
I did have many regrets. Mainly overheating and the card eventually failing on me. Funny how these large companies ship their shit to “third world countries” so that people have a lower chance of returning their POS
But not the fancy machine learning acceleration
Nvidia does not ‘hate’ Linux, Nvidia simply never thinks about Linux. They need to keep secrets so people can’t buy the cheap card and with a little programming turn it into the expensive card.
This. I bet the experience is better if you use it on an enterprise distro they have precompiled drivers for.
With the boom in AI their focus is increasingly on the data center market, so it’s a small miracle (thanks Red Hat and others prodding them) they even have an open driver right now for newer cards (tellingly it’s in a better state for computational use than for rendering pixels on the screen)
I’m on the cusp off jumping to Arch. Before I do I’m replacing my rtx 3080 with an RX 6800 XT. They are close enough in performance and identical pricing on eBay.
I’ve done a bunch of testing and found great support for all my hardware except my Razer Ripsaw HDMI capture device, which I can replace with something supported. It is just the Nvidia bullshit holding me back.
I’ve seen this photo a bunch of times. Who is this guy? And why is high flipping the bird?
Linus Torvalds, creator of the linux kernel, flips the bird to nvidia and they deserve it
It’s the creator of the linux kernel. In the video he quote says “fuck you nvidia” lol

Some nerd with an attitude problem and a severe lack of social graces.
535 drivers have been working fine for me in Ubuntu and Manjaro.
It’s not that they hate it, they just don’t care at all.
Also, you should use your distro’s prepackaged driver - not the Nvidia installer.

What i don’t get is how nvidia stock is exploding when using their hardware for AI is a nightmare on Linux. How are companies doing this? Are they just offering enterprise support to ibsiders or something?
