Comment on Rate my setup
Aside from the fact that the best drivers are closed source, NVIDIA is killing it on Linux these days.
Source: me a professional Linux user and hobbyist Linux gamer.
If distros would ship pre-compiled, signed kernel modules, that would be just perfect.
No, that should absolutely be discouraged. Nvidia should quit trying to fuck with users’ rights and release proper Free Software drivers.
It sounds to me like a loose-loose situation. It does have the effect of applying pressure on Nvidia, but it also makes Linux desktop more complicated than it needs to be which has a real cost for users.
It’s a shame.
