    That implies that the remaining 60% non-vangogh GPU is evenly split between AMD and Nvidia which is still interesting given Nvidia’s much higher market share. That does line up with the general disposition of Linux users - dislike of tech giants

      There’s actually a practical problem with Nvidia.

      People that use Linux don’t have a single set of reference like, let’s say “Windows 10 or Windows 11”: there are tons of different Linux flavor you can try by simply boot a CD/USB dongle with full Vulkan support… except if it’s Nvidia: since Nvidia closed source driver are restricted in distribution an/or packaging meager.

      In short: with AMD/Intel GPU you got latest updated driver coming right to the very core of the OS (right in the Linux’s kernel), it doesn’t matter which Linux you boot, ~100% GPU driver works flawlessly

      …on the other side with Nvidia? Good luck with that!
