  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    So they are producing drivers for their cards, and I still don't understand your comment. They're not fully open source, which is a valid concern, but you said they "often don't give much of a shit about linux"...they're literally producing drivers for their cards for Linux, just like they do for Windows. I'm not sure what else you want them to do.

    they’re literally producing drivers for their cards for Linux,

    For some of their cards as the article mentions.

    I’m not sure what else you want them to do.

    Regularly release drivers for more of their graphic cards, including older ones like the GTX 10-series which are still incredibly popular.

    I went here and was able to find 64 bit Linux drivers for GTX 1080 Ti that were released as far back as January 24th of this year. I didn't search other models but it's clear that at least that 10-series card is being supported.

    The way I understood the article, only some drivers were being open-sourced (and then only partially).
