     @stevelord I'm so disconnected from the M$Windows world that I didn't even imagine drivers would collect user behavior data 🤯 — and according to the article Nvidia does the same. Like, seriously, drivers have no business doing this :blobangery:

     @aperezdc @stevelord I'm so glad that I actually, just yesterday, went with AMD and using the Open Source drivers.
