How can you say this? They don't have CUDA. Right now M$ + Nvidia have the market completely cornered :'(
Linux + Nvidia suck btw. The only option is M$.
That's a pretty strong statement. I use both and it's been very smooth sailing for me, switching to Windows is something that comes with so many headaches that I couldn't make the case for it, besides I wouldn't know what to improve compared to how it is today. Using multiple GPUs under linux while also using them to drive a display is perfectly normal.
Was there anything specific that you would like to see improved on a Linux/NVidia combo that I may simply never have run into?
I can speak for someone who has done it. I have not been able to achieve Windows level performance. Plus the time it takes to do things like force the GPU to turn on/be used by the application/OS is nontrivial and I'm a full time programmer.
Not to mention when I'm using GPU based applications, my second monitor sometimes freezes. Mostly Steam, but rarely videos.
(Not to say Windows didn't have its own problems like forced update/reboot, ads/ragebait news in the start menu, full remote control of your file system.... gross)
I agree on the general sentiment that nvidia is expletive expletive expletive.
AMD on Linux is also making at least some waves recently. Still catching up, but it seems like I've seen 100% increase in ROCm posts compared to last year...
