    NVIDIA's own driver installer doesn't work, all it does is screw up your display configuration. The community made installer for the proprietary driver actually works. That's pretty sad if you ask me. Further, getting CUDA to work is a nightmare, meanwhile, Vulkan and OpenCL is a breeze to get to work. However, if you decide to use Vulkan or OpenCL on an NVIDIA you don't get as much performance out of the GPU as you would if you used CUDA. NVIDIA still doesn't support Wayland, which is the display manager of the future. NVIDIA doesn't care for Linux, which I find funny since, that's where all the money is, in the datacentre.

    It doesn't matter what brand your laptop is. But I will say that NVIDIA has been pretty much shit on Linux for a while now. AMD graphics provide a much more painless experience, thanks to them just open-sourcing basically everything. That's why Wendell used an AMD card on Linux, and only put in an NVIDIA for PCI passthrough use.

    Actually, no. Tomb Raider Rise of the Tomb Raider Hitman Dirt Rally F1 2015 F1 2017 Everspace Stellaris Kerbel Space Program Counter Strike: Global Offensive Rocket League Witcher 2 And tons of indie games. And like Wendell said, a bunch of games work pretty much perfectly via Wine as well, with pretty amazing performance thanks to DXVK. I play World of Tanks and World of Warships via Wine, and haven't had any issues, and I get smooth gameplay on my 2560x1080 ultrawide.

    Their database test was flawed. They used a dataset whose entirety would fit inside the L3 caches of these CPUs. Because of the non-uniform nature of EPYC's non-unified L3 cache, EPYC didn't have a good showing in that test. However, in a real dataset that is huge, that wouldn't completely fit inside L3 cache, the lead that the Skylake chip would close significantly.
