No, it’s the same reason as always: Nvidia stubbornly refusing to play by the rules, cooperate with the maintainers, respect other people’s software licenses, or let you know how to communicate with the hardware you bought. It’s part of why I stopped giving them money.
You mean that stalkerware that whores out your privacy for profit? Yeah good luck with that shit. There are far reaching implications for this stupid nonsense with Nvidia. The stuff it really screws with is outside of the kernel and what makes it easy for most people to use Linux. Without it, the intellectual barrier for real freedom becomes much harder. If you’re into the new digital age of medieval feudalism, whatever, that is your choice. I prefer to avoid stepping back 1000 years of sociopolitical progression.
This is about ownership. If you didn’t 100% own what you pay for, you are a serf and a slave in all but name. No serf wanted feudalism, they were just too stupid to see what they lost when they lost it and do something about it while they had the chance. It won’t impact you much, but your grandchildren will despise you for these choices and your failure to value freedom and ownership. They are what you are really sacrificing to ignorance

Well no shit, this is about the GPL software license that Linux uses, and obviously Windows does not
