Why NVidia?! Why do you force me to stay on Windows?! WHYYYYYYY?!
That's what went through my head yesterday as OneDrive threw the towel (again) and borked the whole Windows Explorer (again) so any attempt to access my own files would just freeze the Explorer-Window (again) because OneDrive tried to frantically download a folder that was deleted both locally and online (again) and OneDrive got confused (again)
This is just the open source NVidia driver… there are also official ones.
Even the proprietary drivers blow chunks. Sure, gaming performance is fine, but desktop feel is just so awful compared to AMD wayland it isn't even funny.
What's missing with Nvidia? I've never tried Wayland with AMD
Some things i can think of (for Wayland)
plymouth will either display in a very low res or not at all on nvidia systems
no smooth dm-de transitions
occasional graphical errors (although these barely exist on my hardware anymore)
taints kernel by loading an out-of-tree module, which breaks some stuff
for foss purists, oss drivers aren't as fast as proprietary by a large margin (although nvk looks promising)
