  Yeah that’s not going to happen. Gamers don’t give a shit. AI bros don’t give a shit. Crypto cucks don’t give a shit. And most importantly… the US doesn’t give a shit.

  Harsh but true.

    a touch generalizing maybe?

      Yes. I personally haven’t bought Intel since they’ve shown themselves, or MS. And now I won’t buy NVidia (I have a good cheap GPU from them, though ; and they make FreeBSD drivers ; it’s unfortunate).

      I do use a PDA with Android with Google services.

      Maybe… But it is true. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to punish them for this.

        what constitutes punishment? not buying their products has to be worth something, right?

    Linux users do though. If people keep moving from Windows to Linux they’re going to run up against the trash Nvidia driver support pretty quick.

    This is a problem that Nvidia is capable of solving but they haven’t been interested in it for over a decade so I don’t see them starting now.

    Expecting a major flood of new Linux users might be a bit of a pipe dream though. But the momentum is building. If we do manage to swing the market noticeably in that way, AMD is going to get a big boost over Nvidia in the gaming GPU market.

    I doubt that will really move the needle for crypto bros or AI farms, but it is something.

      They actually recently open sourced a bunch of required infrastructure, and hired a bunch of the OSS driver maintainers.

      It’s all still pretty crap, but there’s more hope now.

        Well, that’s good news for my desktop build, and bad news for my hope for the future, I guess.

      All the AI racks are Linux based and are built on Nvidia graphics. Meta and Google were ordering iterations of GB200’s ranging from $2-4million per rack. (Did some diagnosing issues on racks/servers that failed tests after coming off the assembly lines as a subcontractor). So I’m afraid you are right about moving the needle there.

      That’s right, I said it. It’s a thing now 🤣.
