Microsoft submits Linux kernel patches to enable complete Hyper-V on Linux

GPU decoding support for video streaming in Chrome/Firefox was enough for me to switch back. I know this JUST got added to Firefox but afaik, this Nvidia proprietary drivers don't support this.

This is one of the reasons I actively avoid buying Nvidia hardware - their Linux support is borderline criminal.

I dislike their shady practices as much as anyone else, but calling their lack of driver support on a platform outside of their market segment "borderline criminal" is wildly hyperbolic.

A bit hyperbolic, perhaps. Still very bothersome.

On Linux you should be avoiding Nvidia in the first place.
