Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮I sure do love NVIDIA drivers
Disco Cat@gamingonlinux Switching to AMD was one of the best decisions I made, given the linux support.
Sure, they're not the strongest GPUs (but they're not far behind at all), but the linux support is very good.

I actually switched to Nvidia since all of the high quality graphics applications did not run on my AMD GPU. 
(I had shader programming at the uni, no chance to get it to work on AMD... Switched to Nvidia and it worked out of the box)
@13reak @gamingonlinux afaik shaders work just fine on amd too, many games and engine use them ?
Unless it somehow uses CUDA, but shaders (or compute shaders) don't use that.
I can just tell you what happened.
AMD: black screen for 2-4 weeks, I was going mad. Tried everything. Tossed the AMD GPU out and...
Nvidia: worked out of the box, same code.
Only thing I have to mention: the open source drivers for Nvidia are horrible but the closed source stuff works.
@13reak @gamingonlinux sure, but which shader language ? Which tool ? You wrote ATI : how many years ago was it ? :)
