Because NVidia works in Linux. Intel isn't really accelerated, and AMD is buggy and doesn't do GPU compute acceleration terribly well.



This is completely false. Modern Nvidia cards on linux can barely get pixels on the screen and does not have power saving modes.


I'm using an NVidia card right now for very high end video work. It works great.

Why would I want power saving modes?


Also all the AI/ML/CUDA tooling is written for NVidia, AMD driver support is terrible.


This alone means my 2023 computer build will have an nVidia GPU.

I know next to nothing about ML. But even I can follow basic instructions to get Stable Diffusion or Spleeter or something to play with.

Installation, configuration and speed to get ML stuff to play with is easy for nVidia users. Sucks for AMD.
