Why does Nvidia hate linux?

Mr_Esoteric@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 288 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!

I've seen this photo a bunch of times. Who is this guy? And why is high flipping the bird?

It's the creator of the linux kernel. In the video he quote says "fuck you nvidia" lol

Other people have already told you who Linus is but if you want some context for the image it was from a Q&A: https://youtu.be/dmfDaxYhi9I?t=2864

Go to 47:46 if the link starts you at the beginning of the video (he starts to do the hand gesture at 49:28).

Some nerd with an attitude problem and a severe lack of social graces.
