Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As a reminder, the same (closed-source) user-space components for OpenGL / OpenCL / Vulkan / CUDA are used regardless of the NVIDIA kernel driver option with their official driver stack.

CUDA hell remains. :(

AMD needs to get their ducks in a row. They already have the advantage of not being Nvidia

That's just because they release worse products.

If AMD had Nvidia's marketshare, they would be just as scummy as the business climate allows.

In fact, AMD piggybacks off of Nvidia's scumbaggery to charge more for their GPUs rather than engage in an actual price war.

It's all by design.
