I finally bought a replacement CPU so I could put linux on my desktop again, just to find out that my wireless card doesn’t work under linux. I guess I’m gonna have to save up and get a PCIe wireless adapter

    Ask Nvidia; their software is literally created and tested on Linux but won’t release it for Linux. Lol

    And the reason why they don’t is that they’re scared of losing profit somehow

      Because basically the only difference between a [$$$] consumer GPU and a [$$$$$] workstation/server GPU are software and a few extra memory chips (little bit hyperbole). If businesses could have been buying [$$$] GPUs and doing the same things they need to do on [$$$$$] GPUs (e.g. GPU Partitioning), Nvidia wouldn’t be where they are right now.
