Why does Nvidia hate linux?

Mr_Esoteric@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 287 points –

So I've been trying to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers on my homelab so I can get my fine ass art generated using Automatic1111 & Stable diffusion. I installed the Nvidia 510 server drivers, everything seems fine, then when I reboot, nothing. WTF Nvidia, why you gotta break X? Why is x even needed on a server driver. What's your problem Nvidia!

Nvidia doesn't hate linux, it just don't care and the linux community hates nvidia

amd didn't care a few years ago, but their drivers are open, so the community can fix it even if the company don't care(now amd care a lot more, so it's better) nvidia is a closed source crap, and it don't give a fuck too

I thought nvidis was opening their drivers some as of sometime last year. Still shit though.

It didnt open the parts of the driver that mattered

And they can't get all those sweet sweet tracking data they get from Windows users
