There is Hetzner for that.
You might want to provide the source for this. (The phrase is not directly googlable.)

We are not. Why would we?
Ahem, https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=94fc89fbfbc7cd8886...
> some game consoles used FreeBSD as a basis and had proprietary NVIDIA drivers written for them
You mean proprietary AMD drivers? (Only PlayStation 4 and 5 are based on FreeBSD.)

Manipulative much? I don't hate you (well, so far), you aren't being attacked, I'm just noting what a few informed people here don't like about your video. No, they aren't trolls. And, yes, everyone has different level of tolerance to exaggerations, of course.
That's slightly above half of its retail price (when it was new) and roughly in the same ballpark as RTX 2070 MSRP. Is this really "dirt cheap"? Do you expect video cards to never depreciate then?
More to the point, I don't remember the market being saturated with used video cards in way that could put a dent in retail prices. They always seem to sell at comparable performance/$ ratio to new cards. I'm genuinely curious if I missed any trends.
No, not at all. Any references?
The quirks part is a bit of a meme. Mesa contains a few application-specific overrides here and there: https://github.com/mesa3d/mesa/blob/c62996796cc46f1a1406f365..., https://github.com/mesa3d/mesa/blob/a678ec9b8c057311ed7e9697.... The reason Linux drivers, including the one from Nvidia, have fewer quirks is simply that Linux has fewer 3d applications overall. Those quirks also reside in userspace driver parts and should not affect system stability.

Again, quirks are a property of a relatively high-level userspace part of the driver. There is nothing hazardous about porting them.
