Torvalds Slams NVIDIA's Linux Support
New submitter jppiiroinen writes "Linus Torvalds received the Millennium prize last week for his work on Linux operating system. He was already in Finland, so Aalto University arranged a talk session with him (video). During the Q&A, a person asks why NVIDIA does not play well with Linux. Torvalds explained shortly that NVIDIA has been one of the worst companies to work with Linux project — which makes it even worse that NVIDIA ships a high number of chips for Android devices (which use Linux inside). Torvalds even summarized that ('Nvidia, f*** you!') in a playful manner. What has been your experience on NVIDIA drivers with Linux?"
Jesus, I know LT is a good among geeks, but he is starting to get that syndrome where everything out of his mouth makes you want to roll your eyes and ignore him. If you want to bash someone for linux support, go trooping over to AMD/ATI's offices and loudmoth them. Last thing we need is you getting NVIDIA in a mood to provide EVEN LESS support than they already do genius!
no one cares about the two remaining Haiku experimenters
