how much nvidia does to make sure you stick to their proprietary software

Holy fucking shit you are extremely misguided. Are you not aware that the Linux nvidia drivers are proprietary? The only reason that the mesa drivers are awful is because they barely support the 10 series and they don't support the new instruction set of the 20's and above.

If you are running Nvidia on your system and it is above a 10 series, you are running proprietary software. Big whoop, steam is proprietary too, so are the vast majority of the games you play on steam.

Hell, nvidia used to be the ones supplying an open source driver on Linux like 14-15 years ago, AMD didn't have that, only the proprietary driver. DO NOT OWE ALLEGIENCE TO ANY PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY, that's exactly why we don't have good FOSS drivers for nvidia now.

Literally the point of my comment. Calm down. I'm not suggesting allegiance to anyone. The fact remains that AMD drivers are currently in the kernel.
