So NVIDIA's drivers are good because AMD's are worse?

> "What AMD's seeking to do by changing up their high-performance Linux driver is having a completely free kernel driver that's relied upon by Catalyst and would live within the mainline Linux kernel in order to ease support for Linux consumers."

I think AMD has gone above and beyond, especially since 2014's above announcement. I think today's AMD are better than NVIDIA's and they are a much better company for Linux

Just not a piece of shit

That choice of terms was my frustration leaking through. Those drivers wasted 4 hours of my day yesterday, and several whole days this last month.

Whatchya doin updating them in the first place? Pick a version, install it against dkms and forget about it.

CUDA version compatibility, for instance. Every new release requires new series of drivers.
