Are they really proposing an objectively better solution? What do think the experts about this? I really hope they do purpose something eBay finally benefits the tests, not only wanting to become relevant on a ecosystem where they don't participate and are really nocive subjects.
NVidia drivers don't work exceptionally on Linux, that's a subjective view. They suck ass and benefit from software excessively optimized for them with monopolistic ways that should be ILLEGAL, in fact.
I strongly think a proprietary driver is something that ought to be not tolerated because of security, technical and fairness reasons. One of the big problems are the mafia/Microsoft/Oracle tactics done by NVidia of favoring their hardware by paying developers to optimize for their hardware, that not should be only illegal but extremely strongly penalised by the entire FOSS community.
The reason to perceive NVidia hardware and drivers to be best is because the alternatives are a total and ridicule clusterfuck. Outdated OpenGL, slow and incomplete adoption of new standards like Vulkan, new and really relevant releases are something that still need a lot more work to make it happen.
Things are improving, but there's still a very long road to even surpass NVidia's Shitsperience.
- MESA is starting to move in the correct direction, but there's a LOT to be done than most people think. They not only need to implement latest OpenGL and Vulkan, but to find ways to surpass and circumventing (if possible) NVidia optimizations and performance.
- ARM SoCs are a shit with their proprietary GPU.
- More access to low level and say goodbye to binary blobs. I consider there ought to be an organized initiative to reverse engineer them and seek for financing to someday have 1500+ skilled full time well paid workers to provide really good results in a very fast way in this aspect. I know it's insane, but the kind of really good one and very much needed to make things suck a lot less than c current creepy and sorry status of FOSS hardware drivers.
