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
nvidia.ko is one of the most singularly reviled things in the broader Linux sphere, maybe even more so than systemd, and honestly i don't think it deserves that level of hate
