I must differ.
NVIDIA don't do open source because they believe they must keep closed
to compete with AMD/ATI. Whether that's true or not is a matter of
another discussion. Their closed binaries are usually pretty good.
Sometimes they release a bad bug, but they are quick to fix it, and
quickly release a patched version. At any rate, one's best best is
probably Intel. The more recent GPUs from Intel are well supported in
Linux. Heavy 3D support simply requires the NVIDIA blob. No choice.
Soon the Nouveau driver will change that, but for now...
