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

@whitequark hater opinion: i feel like most of the hate these days is simply because wayland folks refused to work with nvidia and so the wayland desktop was broken for years.

@dotstdy something like that yeah

@whitequark you could argue that eventually it worked, but oh my what a painful and drawn out process. which i suppose is not exactly a unique problem in the area...
