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 My one and only gripe about it is the amount of grief it gave me on my W520 (sandy bridge i7 and GF108 Quadro 1000M) first with primus/bumblebee but that eventually worked well, then dropping support so I'd end up stuck on a pretty old Xorg. The intel driver worked fine the whole time. I realize this is a silly complaint.
