Jack up prices so people cant buy video cards anymore.

"Generously" make their overpriced, heavily restricted, nickel-and-dimed streaming platform available on functionally everything.

as end users age out of cards, the only options they'll have left is to use GeForce Now or not play at all.

A long term plan to take your PC from ownership to subscription model.

Or you know, buy an AMD card...

Someone missed the news about AMD planning on increasing prices monthly all this year.

Or Intel, though i dunno how good their cards work on Linux

Pretty awful, from what I've heard, and PCIe passthrough into VMs is a nightmare for Intel cards as well. Again, no experience myself, but from everything I've read it appears to go AMD > NVIDIA >> Intel as far as Linux support for dGPUs is concerned.

Not amazing, and Intel are currently cutting costs left and right (including abandoning parts of their Linux work). Hopefully they at least keep some developers working on their drivers.

According to Linus Tech Tips vs. Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux uses Intel graphics card.

Torvalds is the worst person to use as an example for an ordinary Linux user. That LTT computer was built for one thing only, to develop the Linux kernel and not to game.

Linus doesn't waste his time playing games. That dude gets real things done.
