There is certainly a very big amount of fuckery going on right now with nvidia drivers.

"Right now" meaning every year for the past decade or two.

It's always something with Nvidia drivers. Performance+stability is more the exception than the rule.

That said, AMD drivers have a bad rep too. Personally I've had zero issues since I switched to AMD but experiences seen to vary a lot from what I've read.

Before that, I don't think I ever got through a full year without at least one weekend lost to troubleshooting Nvidia bullshit. CUDA is a pain in the ass even on Windows.

    All my experiences with amd gpus have been fantastic, their drivers work beautifully and when they have even a slight issue it's been problems with protocols adoption and whatnot, never the driver.

    It's such a contrast to the dogshit experience I've had with all the nvidia gpus I use, I really can't think of a reason except cuda that a Linux user should get a nvidia device.

    I hope when the people adopting Linux now start building their next pc demand for nvidia noticeably shrinks. Or maybe they'd be bankrupt by then because of the ai bubble crash
