Nothing wrong with that command-line flag. That's the kind of personality software can be imbued with when you don't have to care about corporate.
I used to feel frustrated about the flag, having bought an Nvidia GPU for ML, not knowing how badly DRM works on it.
I don’t blame the maintainers of a compositor of struggling with Nvidia holding back a proper API? My Intel built in GPU works fine with sway.
I can see how that can be perceived as abrasive, I think Drew tends to polarize opinions from time to time. But this isn’t about purposefully misgendering a person and various other acts of harassment.
Initially ATI was so shit on Linux that I'm still not buying them.
Nvidia 4 Lyfe!!1!
Radeon is working great these days and with better support on Linux.
Wayland works perfectly on it.
I might give them a chance again one of these days ;-)
Do you game on Wayland? Steam, Lutris?
Just consider that Steam Deck works on AMD GPU and wouldn't work nearly as well if it used Nvidia.
Good point!
Bro since Lisa Su in charge things changed a bit, my 7900xt works like a charm with X and wayland and same did rx580 for few years now, amdgpu is open source driver integrated in kernel of most Linux distributions, its plug an play, just install gpu, turn on the machine, boot into your linux then load amdgpu module reboot, and you can already immediately set ur display on 144hz, try that with my 1080gtx and you are locked at 60 with noveau driver module loaded, until u install their proprietary sheit....
There are many examples of companies and countries that have improved their competitiveness and efficiency by adopting open source strategies. The creation of skills through all levels is of fundamental importance to both companies and countries.
Thanks for your answer.
These attitudes can be seen not only in political topics (such as the one described in the article), but also other stuff in general.
For example, sway once forced users who are using Nvidia gpus to type --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia so that the compositor works properly. It's nothing explicitly offensive, but you can see how their attitudes against "unapproved" outgroups oozes out here.
