So apparently NVIDIA is now supporting Linux operating systems. Any Linux fans that are excited about this or will you continue to use Windows?
What are you talking about?, nivdia has been supporting Linux for decades and for the longest time their drivers have been every bit as good as the windows drivers.So apparently NVIDIA is now supporting Linux operating systems.

They are now releasing an open source version, which they have not done previously.What are you talking about?, nivdia has been supporting Linux for decades and for the longest time their drivers have been every bit as good as the windows drivers.
It also allows them to be included with those distros that restrict proprietary packages by default. And it can help prevent older hardware from becoming obsolete, by allowing the community to continue driver development after official support is gone.You mean now they are open source? who cares? o yeah that 0.000001% programmer who wanto to mess with them for some reason.
Thanks for clarifying, I had no idea NVIDIA always supported Linux. I must have misread the article on NVIDIA's site, it sounded new.What are you talking about?, nivdia has been supporting Linux for decades and for the longest time their drivers have been every bit as good as the windows drivers.

nVidia has published a proprietary driver for a really long time now, and has supported Linux fairly well. It's just the driver code was never made open source.Thanks for clarifying, I had no idea NVIDIA always supported Linux. I must have misread the article on NVIDIA's site, it sounded new.
For years nvidia was the hardware of choice for linux as the drivers were (are) top notch, it took decades for ATI/AMD to reach parity even with open source drivers, AMD/ATI was not quite good (to put it blunty) with OpenGL on windows, it was abismal on linux.Thanks for clarifying, I had no idea NVIDIA always supported Linux.
