I know it's called plasma, and I don't know if it's actually plasmas fault, don't judge me, it's for the meme

I feel your pain, I was there once my friend, just hold on plasma 6 is coming.

It's only a matter of time until Nvidia will fuck up compatibility again. Waiting for workarounds to Nvidia problems is not the solution.

I really wish Linux hardware companies would stop selling Nvidia, and that Linux users would stop buying Nvidia. They don't care about us.

EDIT: Yes I know people with Nvidia switch to Linux with existing hardware. That's not what I'm getting at and I hope those people choose their next GPU wisely.

They don’t care about us.

Nvidia only cares about CUDA and users don't even need to use the Nvidia hardware to output graphics for that. Pretty sure Nvidia barely tests non-headless use of their hardware on Linux.

You're probably right, but it definitely seems like the majority of Linux users are still buying Nvidia.

No sympathy then.
