    NVIDIA rep created an account to make this post

    AMD rep was already an active member of the community

    Unsurprising, yet it still speaks volumes.

    This might be the first time I’ve ever seen something productive happen in the Phoronix forums. I love that place. Go to any topic with more than about a dozen posts and it’s almost guaranteed to be a flame war. Genuinely one of the funniest places on the Internet.

    Check out this one. It took like three posts!

      The phoronix forums are insanely toxic. Everything is bad. Gnome = kid’s toy. systemd = written by Satan himself. Every programming language = too slow. Anything vaguely interested in fostering a diversity, equity, and inclusion = true colors come out in full force.

      It’s so toxic yet I subject myself to it every now and again. There’s absolutely no moderation going on and it shows.

        Once in a while I venture their forums as a morbid curiosity and it always delivers.

    This is how the rest of the industry worked for years. Nvidia was just stuck in the past century.

    NVIDIA is finally starting to play nicely with the community to help sort the driver mess out. Nouveau paired with NVK might actually be the future of NVIDIA graphics under Linux!

      Might make me consider buying an Nvidia card in the future if they can get a reasonably performing and reliable in-kernel driver.

        They’ve been dicks for two decades, just playing a bit nicee doesn’t really change anything. If they work properly with open source, and enable proper in kernel drivers for the next decade or so I might consider buying something nvidia.

        Nvidia has burned their reputation… Will take years to regain trust.

        They are responsible for almost all issues new people have with Linux.
