The truly ironic part is that the current NVidia binary blob driver that everybody dislikes so much *IS* the "Windows equivalent" driver (in fact, it's the same driver, with a Linux shim layer wrapped around it).
You can flame them for having a non-GPL binary blob, but you can't flame NVidia for not having equivalent drivers... [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
