I am trying to repeat my 10 Benchmarks video on my 3080M laptop, which I haven't really used for a while apart from testing NVK. I had forgotten just HOW much Nvidia sucks. I had to reinstall the OS cause OpenSUSE stopped booting after I installed the drivers the first time. X11 is ALSO buggy on Nvidia and crashes randomly. windows won't show, the Steam Friends List window hangs. This is almost unusable.

NAK and GSP cannot be merged soon enough so I can get rid of this proprietary atrocity.

Earlier this year I had a months long issue where my desktop image would freeze if I set its refresh rate higher than 120. I thought my GPU was breaking up, but I finally found a post on the Nvidia forum where someone else had the same issue and realized that it was because of the newest driver. It took months for Nvidia to fix that. Two months ago I just decided to switch to AMD and sold my Nvidia card and haven't had any issues with AMD so far.

Reject AMD/NVidia

Embrace RISC-V.

(No, really. I'm unironically considering using an risc-v sbc as my next "main desktop pc" for the next few years, and relying (only) on cloud gaming for my dopamine needs.)

not everyone have stable Internet connection. Local game is the best

...are you sure about that? 10 Gibps is about to be standardized all around the globe.

Also 10gibps doesn't say anything about the latency, which is what makes me avoid cloud hardware steaming

No, but we are talking about a STREAMING service. Which means, an ISP would have to be beyond terrible if it couldn't provide decent streaming performance under an 10 Gibps connection. Which thankfully, is not the case even for Africans, Nigarians or any other "sub third-world country."
