Errr, how's that?
So he should walk away from Linux because he wants good video
performance?
There is no 3D hardware available with open source drivers that is on par
with the closed source drivers from NVidia and ATI.
Yeah. That sucks.
Its going to take HP or IBM to get behind a product to get NVidia to
jump.
Hopefully, to get them to jump to open source. As you point out in a
paragraph I've snipped :) the ROI for this just doesn't make it worthwhile.
But in a few years, when 3D is pretty much the basis for everything, it's
suddenly going to go from a fringe problem to a very very serious one.
