What the hell happened with nvidia drivers for linux?
I used to be able to boot linux distributions with a fully working desktip, but now I have to add 'nomodeset' so I don't get a black screen.
I have a GTX 970.
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

I didn't say that. I said the people who made it, not the hardware.
>it used to work just fine.
And people who made your GPU realized that it's a threat to their company and did their best to prevent it.

What the hell are you talking about? How can this be Nvidia's fault?

I'm not going to spoonfeed you my sweet child.
Learn to do your own research. Anti-competition practices of nvidia are not a secret. Noveau driver was deemed competition and nvidia did what they do best.

You don't think I haven't already searched for the answer?
It's just that I could not find it.
There's no need for you to be secretive about it. geez.
