minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•6 months agoWasn’t Nvidia always notoriously bad with their driver support on Linux?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•6 months agoYes. Some people will come out and say that no they used to be good, but it’s not really true, they’ve always been iffy. It’s just that ATI’s used to be even worse until AMD bought them up and moved Radeon to a much more FOSS-friendly company.

For 20+ years now, yes.
