just like all games werent supporting linux until steamdeck came along and made it popular which it forced most game developers to support linux lol
©Want to know a fun but sad info from me?
I bought a new system just because i was fed up with the Broadcom driver in my old MB not allowing me to setup an WiFi-AP...
But now im screwed again by Intel due to AX210 on my MB and their driver disables AP's in any higher as 2.4GHz... FU Intel+nVidia from my side...

©EXACTLY...
PEvery game console uses amd for graphics, and consoles are something like.. 70% of game market?
RDo they really though? Unless by 'supporting Linux' you mean - somebody cares to test whether it launches in Proton properly.
©Time of nVidia and Intel are counted since years, but their end is coming soon(tm) i hope
GWe shouldn't hope that their "end" is coming soon at all. We should just hope for more open source technologies allowing us to be agnostic with what hardware we choose. Intel is already very good at this front along with AMD
GI look forward to NVK and what it will bring
PI haven't had any issues with Intel, I just went amd CPU to match the gpu. Idk if it matters I just figured it might be smoother than mixing
©Intel is smarter as nVidia in that aspect because it sees it end if it doesn't support Linux sooner as later...
©Example Intel is STILL doing STUPID stuff with Linux drivers (AX210)
Anvidia is slow in keeping up with linux support lol
PArc gpu having a huge performance hit on older directx turned me away. A large percentage of my game time is in games that are like 10 years old
Athey fix something and other things it break
©Slow? now THATS an understatement... 
Awhat is then?
GTo be fair, so is AMD, lol. They've gotten the support they have because they opened their driver stack. If they didn't, I guarantee it would have been just as slow or worse than Nvidia's support
©That was a reply to this one i quoted...
GAnd in fact, it was worse for a long time. You basically had to use Nvidia back in the day
Aim aware
VThe best way to make a driver stack is to let literally anybody else do it
GAgreed
GThe open source community has many eyes on the code at once
©Anyhow, both companies Intel and nVidia are like (or actually are?) Micro$@$ with their closed source crap stuff...
Anvidia still refusing to open source of their drivers lol
PIntel has quite a bit of open source afaik
GThe drawback to the open source approach is you need to be on bleeding edge kernel and mesa versions for new hardware support (and even then, it's not immediate). With Nvidia's blob, it's pretty much immediate support
GSupport does end up being far better in the long term with AMD
Ai might just say goodbye to nvidia if they havent fix their garbage lol
©AMD = Smart and comunity orientated...
Intel + nVidia = Self centered with only their own interests in mind, giving a fck about the consumers if they keep buying their crap

Aanswers?
GIntel is actually very good with open source stuff - the Arc cards are just still considered quite experimental
©And thats from years (read decades) of computer experience...
PNvidia is too busy chasing that over inflated money they were making at the height of crypto and chip shortage to give a crap
Aamd i agree and intel they smart too expect nvidia they gonna get bankrupt in couple years
GNvidia definitely are not gonna get bankrupt anytime soon lol
GThey're a trillion dollar company now
Aoh yeah every new gpu they make its more worse than old ones lol
PI could see Nvidia selling off or spinning off their consumer graphics business tho, to focus on ML
GI do agree their modern GPUs are laughably overpriced
Gthey still perform well, but pricing is a complete mess
©The best and smartest thing Intel and nVidia can do is buy shares in AMD, but keeping their PAWS off of actual decissions made by AMD...
Alegit i found nvidia gpu cost 1.5k like thats scam lol
VAnd people still buy them
GThey're already sort of doing that. Their focus is definitely all in on ML
VThey can make slop as long as people buy it
DRay tracing is still tech demo
©IKR, i did also and feel shamed to my guts i did for years
Ayou mean scrappers aka those people who buy 20 gpus in 20 miinutes
©exactly what my point was...
