I've never been a huge fan of Linus and especially his attitude when giving talks, but you have to appreciate someone who isn't afraid to speak his mind.

He makes a lot excuses for being a jerk, though. Critical honesty is one thing, but he has no filter toward other programmers.

http://www.phoronix.com/s...=news_item&px=MTEyMTcMainly because NVIDIA refuses to provide proper open-source drivers for their high end GPUs, a limitation that is absolutely crippling adoption of Linux for gaming applications. Rather interesting article actually. For those of you who don't know who Linus Torvalds is, he's the guy that created the first Linux Kernel.

Yeah, Yeah, that's sad too. I've always used nVidia based cards since I came to the PC. I plan on going to Linux in the next couple of years, so I'll probably wind up having to buy another GPU... |
