Yeah, Nvidia is the right entity to bother no doubt, I just have a different idea of the tone and attitude. The approach I’ve seen before feels more like guiding an angry mob. I’m not really an expert but I feel what we need is firm decisions (drop support, it’s time) and clear messaging (vote with your wallet, and tell Nvidia you need this.)

Apple dropped support for Nvidia graphics. Linux will be next at this rate.

Still, I want to shy away from blame. Blame is complicated, can be deflected, and often leads to hatred. I prefer to say, Nvidia is responsible, nobody else can fix this.



NVidia sales hardly suffer from it.

In what regards Linux, the only customers that matter to NVidia are CUDA users (don't care about their UI on cloud instances) and Hollywood studios (have their own in-house distributions).
