From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, but Linux users aren't always the most wealthy computer users, and people get given tech, inherit tech, bin dive for tech or get a good deal on tech in a primary or secondary market. Consumer choice is very often a privilege, and consumer awareness isn't always total. So complain away Nvidia users!
thats exactly how I ended up with nvidia. its what i could get my hands on at the time, you just have to see their market share to explain how they are much easier to come by.
And maybe if enough people complain NVIDIA will start behaving less like a bag of dicks?
Wishful thinking, I know, but one can hope.
I use NVIDIA (got macbookpro5,3 for free) and complain about NVIDIA 😂👌🏻 good like this?
