Well last time i checked they are still the leader in gaming performance so apparently the others are still worse, even though i think it does not justify the price.

Yep, but not for long if they don't start investing in new tech. This is the way Intel went down.
And it's a pain in the ass if you game on Linux...
Oh yeah, there is no way to use Nvidia on Linux these days. It's all a mess.
Dunno. I had nightmares with fglrx drivers back in the days, but never with nvidia. Everything worked out of the box. Granted I always used the proprietary ones.
I do it every day, wtf are you talking about. I even switched to the open source one a couple weeks ago (not nouveau, nvidia-open)
You can get it to work as distros like pop or bazite ship with drivers. But getting full performance or having it "just work" has always been a hot topic in community
Really? I have no recent nvidia cards but i never had a lot of issues wirh my rtx 2080 but i think this was around the time amd actually started upping their linux game with vulkan. That was in 2019 and i remember it was one of the main reasons that discouraged me to buy amd.
Intel sat on their asses for way too long for sure. I remember that from the old pentium 2 times. Whatever competitors like amd and cyrix could come up with, they already were several steps ahead and could just release their next gen and reduce the price of the lower end that were competing with others.
When it comes to that it is always a shame that this tech is mostly economically driven and not technologically driven (i.e.: release the best what you have now vs making small intermediary steps on the same thing for 2 or 3 years)
