  • Only due to broken anti-trust laws and precedent in the US based on faulty ideological assumptions from the chicago school.

    Any reasonable fair-minded examination free from the shackles of this ideology and precedent would show it to be anti-competitive.

  • I think this is a bit misleading.

    Most or at least the majority of distros offer the proprietary nvidia driver.

    Pop, Zorin, Ubuntu, Garuda, etc just bundle it in the install media as an option.

  • I like Mint a lot, and have it running on one of my computers, even though it's not my daily driver.

    However, I recently tried Zorin just to see what the fuss is about and honestly I can't see many reasons to recommend Mint above Zorin to new users. Both are based on Ubuntu LTS and have a bunch of tools to allow purely graphical management and Zorin has several windows-like layouts (both 10 and 7) that are more polished in my view, but Zorin also has the benefit of a more modern compositor and DE base with Wayland support, being based on gnome and mutter.

    I'd be interested in your perspective, as from my end the only reason now to recommend mint (until muffin gets sufficiently modernised) would be if you knew a user would prefer cinnamon's slightly more traditional feel (almost XP), or if in the future LMDE became more of an important feature.

  • Plenty.

    For older cards that do have reclocking, it works exceptionally well, including for gaming.

    For many newer cards, even though it won't reclock it will get you into a desktop, and even give you a good accelerated wayland experience.

    Moving forward, once the new open source nvidia kernel driver and nouveau bits land, and the driver matures it will probably be the best nvidia driver on linux.
