System76 and other Linux hardware vendors are still selling computers with nvidia GPUs built in. Which is stupid.
System76 and other Linux hardware vendors are still selling computers with nvidia GPUs built in. Which is stupid.
But it’s still stupid, especially if it’s about money, since Nvidia wants to sell a lot of chips to the Android market. And with Linux users being dumb enough to keep buying Nvidia products and using their mediocre proprietary drivers, nothing will ever change.
Problem is, most people are going to take one look at join-lemmy and not know what to do. It’s so much easier to point people at lemmy.world or lemmy.ml.
And until very recently, small servers have had a ton of trouble finding communities on the big servers. That seems to be mostly resolved, though I still get community not found errors when I first navigate to a new community, but refreshing takes care of this. New users aren’t going to know what to do with this.
Granted, many (most?) people seem to think these problems are a good thing because it keeps the normies out, but forums are nothing without people.
I call them “novideo” because the nvidia GPU in a PC someone gave me was the bane of my existence on Linux. I ended up buying a Radeon for it because I got so tired of having no video after security updates. Nvidia seems to hate everybody except Windows for some reason. Even Apple ditched them long before they ditched Intel.
But yet, it seems like the majority of Linux users have nvidia anyway.
For now.
