lol nouveau kept causing kernel panics so i had to install the proprietary nvidia driver.

also meta+p kept switching my monitors to mirrored mode and the keyboard config wouldn't let me rebind it, so i had to install dconf to change the settings. dunno why gnome keyboard shortcuts suck so bad.

good old linux.

yeah, nouveau sucks thanks a lot to nvidia. the nouveau devs have got what they've gotten working p much through reverse engineering. worse yet, the proprietary nvidia driver is a mess too.

the official Nvidia driver would probably be more stable if Linux had a grown up kernel interface

Just like MacOS and Windows that don’t break drivers for each kernel update?
If anything, perhaps Nvidia trying to cram a gigantic wrapper around their Windows driver, ignoring any announcements of ABI depredations, and straight up ignoring the kernel ABI in other places couldn’t be the issue at all.

:shrug: it works beautifully when you're using hardware by a company that's not totally hostile

every other company works with the general opensource community, while nvidia insists on doing their own weird, buggy thing every single time and every single instance.

My guess on Solaris is that there is still some cad software or whatnot that still needs to run on that OS but it works a ton better on new hardware.

Probably cheaper and less financially risky than throwing a blank check at Oracle

It does not. Some guy found a license for zlib in the menu and confused it for the FreeBSD kernel one, and the rumor spread from there.

freebsd and solaris were already mostly-dead when nvidia released the drivers
