Also, NVidia.

On my laptop with nvidia (msi, debian 12), if I unplug the charger the screen orientation goes from landscape to portrait, everything is tilted 90 degrees. I hate this laptop, so I rarely use it.

Wait, I read a description of this exact issue (or an eerily similar one) a few weeks ago here on Lemmy. Wasn't that you ?

Hm, not that I remember. My memory isn't the best though.

I'll try to find that post again, just in case

Driver 555 Fixes most of the problems, making the nvidia experience almost flawless. 560 dropping soon too

They fixed one specific issue afaik, not by actually fixing it but working around it, and they didn't address the real, main issue: The driver being closed source. Until then, there are and will always be issues that aren't present for AMD, because the latter has thousands of experts working, fixing and adapting other programs for it for free, around the clock.
