And this is the Linux Kernel's fault, or Nvidia's lousy drivers?



What difference does it make whose fault it is?


So, by that logic, when AMD/ATI's notoriously buggy drivers were failing in windows, you blamed NTOSKRNL and Windows?

I guess I'm looking for consistency in the argument the great-grandparent was making.


For most Mac users, there's a kind of consistency: It doesn't matter whether the drivers or the kernel are to blame; either way, avoiding Windows means avoiding the whole mess.


Read it as "the Linux experience as a desktop user," and not "the Linux kernel."


classy late downvote/reply/moving goalposts combo. Post was at +2 before your reply.

either way, you're proving the inconsistency. ATI drivers for windows suck, but you don't blame windows. NVidia drivers suck in Linux (to the point that Linus Torvalds says "Fuck you NVidia", creating news headlines), and you blame Linux.
