    You’re pretty brave to call us “circlejerk” and then agree that there are flaws in drivers.

    For you this can work. For my wife the nvidia works also. I mean, almost. Wayland buggy, poor VRAM management, from time to time fights with drivers. Compared to that my AMD journey is “set and forget”.

    I mean, yes, make a switch and test things out. But once you settle down on Linux OS, Nvidia is the worst choice you can make for purchase. World’s shifting towards Wayland and it’s not even worth your time to go and run Steam in Gamescope on Nvidia. And did you notice the push from distros to switch to wayland? Right now NV is same experience as was anything 10 years ago - hit or miss.

    Just don’t call anybody jerk when you don’t share their experience. You are very low statistical sample and there are lots of us in the wild having real troubles with green team

      I’m not calling anyone jerk. I just don’t like that every discussion involves ‘nvidia bad’ on here. That, to me, is a circlejerk. And repeatedly summing up the situation as ‘nvidia is so bad, don’t use it’ puts people off from making the jump and consequently doesn’t help the growth of linux in general, which doesn’t help you, me or anyone else.
