I was wondering if you guys would have a few advice
for graphic card?
My laptop blew up a few days ago, so I'm building a pc to replace it
(haven't done that in years) - I'm not a gamer, the only things me and
my wife are doing are music production and photo editing, only running
Linux.
Any advice between Radeon or GeForce? Which driver is good and doesn't
disturb Jack or audio latency?
I run the free radeon driver from X.org. I've heard all the arguments
about how the nVidia closed drivers have better performance, but they
have a bad history of interfering with realtime in the past, the kernel
developers hate them, and I don't like binary mystery code that runs as
root from anybody.
The free radeon drivers have been getting better all the time.
