problematic trait of mine: i actually like the Linux NVIDIA graphics driver. it's always worked really well for me, it's fast, it's got good compatibility with games i run under wine, it handled render offload, hotplug, and hot-unplug of GPUs (less so the latter but to an extent) about as well as you can do with Xorg

I hate that the next big upgrade will probably obsolete the gpus in my current machines and I have no recourse except to give up 3D acceleration.
@kirtai does the old driver branch no longer compile?
@whitequark
They stop being supported after a while.
My current GPUs are only supported by the "legacy" drivers.
@kirtai yeah, but the legacy drivers still work, right?
