  1. nVidia needs to die in a fire by erroneus · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm so thoroughly done with nVidia it is worse than the hate for an ex-wife.

    They may or may not be the performance leader or whatever they think they are, but their abuse of Linux users is just too bad when compared to their only competitor, AMD/ATI. I'm about to order a new workstation and guess what? It'll have the top tier ATI graphics in it. nVidia just has no excuse for playing these 1990's proprietary crap games excluding Linux any more.

    Die nVidia. Die in a fire.
