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.

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.
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 😥
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?
I do have an AMD GPU. Because I wanted one that actually works properly lol.
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.
Maybe take your own advice.
And again, sorry I insulted the GPU company you care so much about.
Cute
I'm sure Jensen appreciates all the simping you do on his behalf.
(Btw that's sarcasm, in case it flew over your head. He doesn't know you exist.)
Lol I have no clue who he is but you sure seem to know a lot of about NVIDIA. I get my gpus for free lol. I got a 3080 in a box waiting for me but I dont botter installing since the 2080ti WORKS PERFECTLY FINE on linux!!!!! Unlike you, I never gave them my personnal money, I have better things to do with it lol. I think linux and computer might be too complicated for you, maybe get an iPad? Or keep on being an AMD sucker, they must love losers like you who thinks a stupid capitalist business is better than another stupid capitalist business and get mad over it. LOL
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.
