I don't know about AMD, but there is no real open-source driver from
NVIDIA, just some reverse engineered thing (Nouveau). Yes, they've
made an open-source driver, but they don't have the information needed
from the manufacturers to do create a completely functional driver.
Yes, thanks, that's what I remember as well.
I'm considering the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING 6GB GDDR5. Any
thoughts or recommendations for/against this board?
I don't think I'll be using it for games, but will probably be doing
some photo editing in the Windows VM.
There used to be a Hardware-Compatibility-HOWTO many years ago :-)
Thanks,
Alex
