Well, I’m not a Linux user and I say that as well. Nvidia does not just not care about Linux, they actively try to act against their open source driver implementation

Can you give more information on this?

Programming is like solving math, I think?

If I were you, I'd learn C instead. Rust is not used (much) on low level development. Currently C is not replaceable.

I've heard the authors of C said: "C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book". But it is so powerful, simple, and fast.

You already have a course on Rust, for "basic programming", so keep going on the course for a while. Learning any programming language can make your mind. And it is a course, so I'd expect the authors of the course to familiarize you with definitions.

Telling people to just drop Nvidia is delusional

We can tell people that is going to buy a new computer to avoid nvidia :)

It’s Linux desktop contributers problem to fix.

We can't write drivers for platforms that we don't have documentation. linux desktop contributors dropping support for nvidia entirely is not a bad decision, though

Getting to the level of a kernel dev, you will have a different look on "degoogling", and even "android".

Just let people use it.

In fact many "linux user" won't tolerate others' software :)

If nvidia is an evil, then why you suppose them to provide you free drivers.

Just drop nvidia.

advertising again.

Skimming your pdf it even talks about package building and delivery.

The talks shows the attitude of BSD communities to each others.

Which most linux communities doesn't have yet.

You should learn programming first. Then get to kernel development level.

WHY THERE ARE NOT.

Please have a partition for /home. In fact, you need partition for /usr, /var,.. too

I agree, but that’s what a linux user would say…

"linux user" should be put in double quotes :)

Technically nVidia chose that fight, not Linux users.

nVidia is chocked full of proprietary implementations meant to bog down competition, for example all CUDA technology including translation layers are technically illegal to even look at without nVidia proprietary drivers.

This already described that Linux user started that fight, and they chose it.

But they cannot do anything than using the proprietary drivers, screaming about moral, propagating GNUism.

Crap is still insulting them though

No one wants their software to be called a "crap", so I will not puke out again.

personally I think gnome is really good

But many people doesn't take "personally". I wanted to write a post about this a few days ago but the op posted the meme.

"Linux users" cared about what their desktop environment looks so much.

This is my .cwmrc:

bind-key 4-s "bin/scrshot"
