Closed source isn’t a crime. However trying to ruin a company with exclusionary tactics can be. Linux kernel devs and Wayland devs have all conspired to harm a company.

NVIDIA kinda shoot themselves in the foot on Linux and excluding themselves. Refusing to support generally supported APIs like;
VA-API
NVIDIA rather wants the OSS community the use their VDPAU or NVENC / NVDEC API’s. Whilst everything and dog uses VA-API.
GBM
Not true anymore (for driver above 495), but in the past NVIDIA refused to support GBM (for Wayland) and rather have compositors use EGLStreams instead of GBM.
Next to that modern NVIDIA hardware (GTX 900 and 1000 series) on the opensource Nouveau drivers cannot be reclocked because it needs some magically blessed signature by NVIDIA. NVIDIA refuses to supply that signature for that hardware but did release it for 1600 and up series.
That’s just two things where I am like, dafuq are you doing NVIDIA…
Do you even assemble the sentences in your head before you post?
That is precisely the issue, it’s closed source.
Now you’re just trolling. Did your dad block all the porn in your home network and now you’re bored?
