I mean, you wouldn't buy a sports car and then a month later post to a forum asking questions about how to tow a 40 foot camper with it, would you? You would research this stuff beforehand, or deal with the fact that it's not compatible for that job. We can't put Nvidias thumbs into a thumbscrew and force them to offer more Linux support, so that's what we're stuck with.

The problem is that a lot of users aren't building a new machine for Linux, but converting an existing Windows laptop or desktop. In my case, I'd already bought an Nvidia card about a year before I decided to switch to Linux for gaming. Not ideal, of course, but it work a good 95% of the time and I can't really afford to get a different card right now. I'll definitely keep it in mind for my next pc upgrade, though.
