Sounds nice, but why use an Nvidia card in a purpose-built Linux box? Obviously they must have made it work well with their default OS options, but it just feels like extra hurdles for them to work through.

Also, why not support AMD for actually appearing to give a shit about Linux open-source drivers? I was a longtime Nvidia user but switched to AMD on my latest build. Given how much better everything seems to work out of the box, they've earned my loyalty for the foreseeable future.

Amd can be quite hard to work with as a small vendor and even though they have a current product with them it takes alot of time, and money to get a new one. If they can

The excuse, which I believe, is that AMD is relatively small and can only do buisness with so many people Whereas nvidia is massive, and multiple smaller companies along with the main one will be in a much better place to supply GPUs.

Completely agree though, I would much prefer an all amd option.

herrcaptain ,

That makes a lot of sense from a small-business perspective. I appreciate your insight.

Because nvidia isn't as hard to get working as people pretend it is.

Maybe ODM they get devices from to rebrand does not have AMD option for this model? ツ
