I think there were a variety of reasons, only some applicable to some people. The top ones that spring to mind: If it's there in the standard repo, it's immediately available without having to figure out that you needed to add another repo, and how to do it. NVidia was notorious for stomping over system files, hence the RPM Fusion packages rather than getting binary blobs directly from NVidia. They were also notorious for dropping support on older hardware, whereas open-source things can be maintained by /other/ people when the original person loses interest (or in this case, deliberately abandons it - just buy a new graphics card from us, it only costs 4 times as much as your entire PC). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
