AMD vs. Intel vs. Nvidia: How Users Are Switching
><i>I might add that while Nvidia is often reviled for its GPU drivers being proprietary, they are still excellent drivers nonetheless.</i><p>Couldn't disagree more. For the last 4 to 5 months or so, Nvidia's drivers have been horrendous. I've experienced numerous crashes with my GTX 2080 Super card. About once every two days I experience a kernel panic and the only solution is to reboot. There are multiple threads on this issue on Nvidia's official Linux forum and Nvidia's driver developers have stated they don't know what the cause is and cannot reproduce it. [1]<p>My HDMI also doesn't work well after the computer wakes-up from sleep. Sometimes the monitor does work, sometimes it doesn't. It's also a known issue.<p>I'll be looking at AMD and their graphics cards a lot more closely when I build my next computer later this year. I just can't deal with Nvidia's driver issues. It's extremely annoying and it has wasted a ton of my time.<p>I've been using Nvidia's HW with GNU/Linux for about a decade and have never had any major issues and have always been happy with the performance and reliability. However, this is not the case anymore.<p>I'm pretty sure all this mess started when Kernel devs started blocking Nvidia's "GPL condom" effort [2].<p>[1] <a href="https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-unix-graphics/linux/148" rel="nofollow">https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-unix-graphics/linu...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-Kernel-Blocking-NV-NetGPU\\\" rel="nofollow">https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-Ke...</a>*
