Oh I agree completely that it is an issue with say NVidia in this case. But it's also pretty reasonable to understand why. You're not going to spend that many resources on a small market segment when most of it is just Windows at end of day, so makes sense to optimise for that distribution.

And fair enough for the rest. I haven't tried in the last 5 years or so and it has generally been when upgrading to a brand new comp and deciding which OS to use so could just be bad timing on my part.

I understand your point. It does make sense that NVidia wouldn't spend so much time on small market share, but they don't even so much as share documentation on how the hardware works, they lock out independent drivers from changing the clock speed, and their driver does things differently than everything else, just because.
