+Timo, my tone was one of excitement and not really a rant, so I apologize if I came off as sounding impatient and I can understand the long hours everyone here puts into this and I really do appreciate this and am very grateful.
However, I'm looking at this from a "customer expectations" point of view and not a developer point of view. This applies specifically to sophisticated customers such as gamers, engineers/scientists/developers and power-users who are the most likely candidates to migrate from Windows to Ubuntu on the desktop. From the customer point of view - especially gamers and demanding power users - the driver release cadence is still way too slow and is a valid bug. Sophisticated users need to flexibility to extract the maximum performance and ensure maximum stability for their system especially for mission-critical applications. Whether we like it or not the industry standard that every customer expects is that set by Windows 7/8 and for those systems there are always fresh drivers available within days of release. Anything slower is perceived as being sub-standard. It's not a matter of who's right or who's wrong it's that we need to at least match or even better beat that release cadence. Ideally a Linux distribution should find a way to be ahead of a Windows release cadence. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219908 Title: All nvidia-current and nvidia-updates need repackaging to mirror official Nvidia releases...
