Comment on The Maintainer Of The NVIDIA Open-Source "Nouveau" Linux Kernel Driver Resigns
Zeron@lemmy.world 1 year agoEven the proprietary drivers blow chunks. Sure, gaming performance is fine, but desktop feel is just so awful compared to AMD wayland it isn’t even funny.

What’s missing with Nvidia? I’ve never tried Wayland with AMD

Some things i can think of (for Wayland)
plymouth will either display in a very low res or not at all on nvidia systems
no smooth dm-de transitions
occasional graphical errors (although these barely exist on my hardware anymore)
taints kernel by loading an out-of-tree module, which breaks some stuff
for foss purists, oss drivers aren’t as fast as proprietary by a large margin (although nvk looks promising)
