    That’s partly on Debian, they really don’t want you running proprietary drivers. Or anything with a license other than GPL, ideally.

    That said, nvidia should still stop being a bunch of cunts. While it’s gotten easier and they’ve open sourced parts of their drivers, there’s still a proprietary binary blob involved, whereas AMD’s Linux drivers are fully open source and integrated into the mainline kernel, usually enabled by default in most distros.

    Personally if my 3060 Ti dies, I’ll also want to move to AMD, but I hope it lasts a long time because the 9070 XT costs more than twice as much for twice the fps, despite being several years newer (okay the 3060 Ti of course now costs much less than it did when it came out, but still about what a 60 series card SHOULD cost brand new if you go back to before the AI and crypto booms).
