That's the free market at work and I like that. And part of what you missed is that I advocated finding, choosing, and supporting those "better options" wherever possible. What you clearly missed, or chose to miss, is that the OP proposed not a boycott but a crusade to hurt Nvidia. I disagreed with him, saying that a company should lose market share to better options and that we should not engage in destructive actions. I furthermore said that someone with a destructive mindset who wanted to damage a vendor should first choose the worst offenders, those who provide no support or drivers for Linux at all. Hopefully this is clearer to you now. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
