Maybe they should contribute their drivers to the kernel instead of fighting it at every turn.

They are, they released an open driver and it’s being upstreamed into the kernel.

https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

People still search for reasons to shit on it because they don’t like the company in general and want to back AMD. Nothing is or ever will be good enough for the haters.

It's software development, if you're searching for a reason to be discontented, you're always going to find one, it's clearly an unfalsifiable situation for people who just dislike the company on personal grounds.

that driver is not being upstreamed and never will be as long as it can only work with the proprietary userspace. It's being used as a reference implementation to improve nouveau.

I've got nothing against nvidia at all. I just don't like running proprietary software on my computer. Looks like they're finally improving and I'm definitely happy about that. However, the driver has not been upstreamed yet.

I just wish they'd let the nouveau developers do their thing.
