timppu: Having seen the video now: No, I think he is an idiot with silly arguments.
"Why doesn't the latest NVidia drivers work in Linux, like the earlier versions did? Linux sucks!"
Errr, right, as if I didn't have massive problems with broken NVidia drivers on Windows 7 awhile back, them crashing constantly etc. Windows sucks, right? Or rather, NVidia sucks?
"Windows 7 on Charlie's, Mark's and Pete's PCs look and feel the same. Not so on Linux, because they may have different desktop environments.".
How about Jürgen who is using Windows XP, Stefan who is using Windows 8, or Mohammad who is using Windows 8.1? Or all the people who will use Windows 10? The differences between those are far bigger than different desktop environments used in Linux.
If you are unable to use Linux XFCE because at home you used KDE, then you will have even bigger problems moving from Windows 7 to 8.
I think you'll find that if you watch his other videos that he knows what he's talking about when it comes to Linux, and as I said no ones likes Windows 8/8.1 because of the stupid UI. 7 and XP are close enough to get used to.
As for Nvidia, I have never had problem with them ever. There was one incident when a driver caused over heating issues I never experienced this personally, but it was all over the web and I haven't heard anything from it since. If you're having problems with Nvidia drivers on your Windows PC then sorry but you must be doing something wrong. I have used so many cards and so many boards for over a decade. Making good drivers is a two way street were both Linux and Nvidia have to pull their weight.
Linux simply doesn't ingratiate drivers very well, I can't even get Bodhi and other distors to even install on my system at all. Ever since Linus Torvalds gave Nvidia the figure and said "Nvidia fuck you" Nvidia has made the drivers while the Linux community is content at blaming all their problems on company that makes GPU's for gaming. Something that's never been Linux's strong point.
Personally I say "Linus, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."
