Sure! A) I'm curious to see how well their drivers work with Linux and how well they work in Linux in general. But I don't want to pay for a new GPU just to find out ... especially if the answer ends up being "poorly". B) If nothing else, I could sell it on ebay. permalink fedilink source parent [–] eleitl@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago They have open source support on Linux. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago Could be worse, could have been Nvidia. permalink fedilink source parent [–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 1 point 8 months ago Why wouldn't I?

That way the product can already be shipped and received without anyone at the company even noticing. It's the one way these chat bots should actually achieve customer satisfaction.
