Then... If you are not up to date with the stuff you shouldn't be commenting on all of that as if it were current news. You did use past tense, but someone might miss that and just read all the stuff at face value. In any case I agree, and is better than NVIDIA currently even though most pain points are fixed. As I already wrote, I wouldn't pick NVIDIA for a new Linux card, it's just that having NVIDIA shouldn't be a deterrent for windows people in the fence.
I'm up to date enough that I know that Nvidia drivers didn't support a game mode feature until a few weeks ago. Also, those who don't learn from history are bound to repeat past mistakes.
