    I had two PCs with an nvidia GPU at different points, and the damn proprietary drivers were the bane of my existence on both PCs. I call them novideo because almost every time I had any updates, the drivers stopped working. And it blows my mind that Linux-first companies like System76 are STILL selling laptops with those GPUs in them.

    Linux users and vendors really need to stop giving that company their money.

      There was a bug in the nvidia driver for a whole year that broke audio over display port for me and a bunch of other people. Had to use legacy drivers cuz fuck me I guess. It was a known issue basically the entire time.

        They need to open source the driver before I will buy any nvidia products ever again. Still blows my mind that System76 and other Linux-first hardware companies are continuing to ship PCs with nvidia GPUs.
