He wishes that nvidia would release their full product code so that developers could make open source drivers. I, OTOH, (and many many others) think that nvidia should do whatever they think right. They allow for open source drivers which fulfill almost all o f the cards' powers. Anything else would put them at a competitive disadvantage in the market (yes, there is a market for video cards). That all said, they do provide enough for Linux users to use their cards and quite well. You keep on with that, "one set of hardware," tripe, but I've owned several (and dealt with others) over the past years and never yet had any trouble but with the open source driver for nvidia, never the proprietary driver(s). YMMV (and likely there is a very good reason for that variance), but it isn't the fault of nvidia. Cybe R. Wizard -- Registered GNU/Linux user # 126326 Registered Ubuntu User (deprecated) # 2136

Yeah, we need some dictator to get those freedom-loving "clowns" to hue the line. When you're done with that, eliminate all those video-game choices, e.g. Playstation, Xbox, Wii, PC, 3DS, etc. After all, it's inefficient that game makers need to support all those platforms. And what's with car manufactures using non-standard wheels mountings? If only we had a dictator to make them use a standard wheel interface! Think of the cost savings! It goes on and on. Get busy, Stalin.

Well *you* managed to have problems, whether or not it is Linux's fault is debatable (I am being generous here). Installed Linux on a multitude of nVidia cards with very, very few issues.

Installed Linux on a multitude > of nVidia cards with very, very few issues. Fewer issues than with ATI > and Intel. Doesn't matter with what brand you had issues, IF you had them too, it is a problem. Oh and those people that claim not to have noticed problems with certain hardware... Most of them don't use dual monitors or a TV screen besides their monitor. So such problems will remain undetected often. Same for audio cards and chipsets, I bought one after reading that it worked so well. Guess what? It didn't! It worked for 44kHz samples but not for HD audio where that HD chip is made for in the first place. Don't get me started about Jack pulse and whatever grap mixers are made for audio. > But are video drivers issues confined to Linux? Hell no! What do you think if "linux" makes a zillion incompatible releases with NO structure; different or no fixed places where things should be installed. Can you ask any bran to make a zillion drivers for you? It is unreasonable to ask such a thing, "Linux" should get there things organized first, changes are manufacturers are willing to supply ONE driver then. You know the kind of : " do you want to install this?' Yes! Done! > Ask > all those folks that did their "free" upgrade to Windows 10 and are now > stuck with the minimal "Basic Windows Display". I don't care about windows, this isn't a windows group. Or do you want me to reply as pointless as CybeR ? with :I installed the driver and have no problem? Edmund

That's no excuse for the desktop linux situation. Even with a windows disaster, again, users still can't find their way to desktop linux. Linux is not at fault. Linux is a kernel, according to most here, but only when it suits their ability to deflect issues. The fault lies with the complete lack of empathy for the user among the desktop linux developers. >

You don't provide any evidence you just talk BS as usual. Try answering a question for a change and do as I told you, IF you know how google works. Then try to help a couple of people who have trouble with nvidia hardware that DOESN'T work. See if you still be as arrogant as you are usual.
