    Nvidia fans kept insisting that “Nvidia works perfectly for me” even when Wayland was entirely unsupported and using highly insecure X11 was really not a bad thing at all.

    More recently game mode didn’t work on Nvidia because their drivers again lacked features.

    Just because you don’t use a feature not supported by your drivers, doesn’t mean that it’s not true. By the very nature how Nvidia develop their drivers, they will lag behind Mesa “standards”.

      There’s a reason to are talking in past tense. It works with new games and Wayland nowadays. Unless the game is inherently broken on windows and AMD cards too (hey, MHWilds, fuck you). In any case I wouldn’t buy a new NVIDIA card, but gatekeeping and fear mongering windows users with NVIDIA cards isn’t the play either. It works fine, not the best, but fine.
