Screw this.

” the biggest challenges with distributing a proprietary Linux driver.”

I have been exceedingly satisfied by the nVidia drivers supplied by Ubuntu. nVidia has worked side-by-side with the Ubuntu team making sure they have current stable drivers for nearly all nVidia cards, new and old.
In fact, if you install Ubuntu, or even vanilla Debian, on a machine with an nVidia chipset or graphics adapter, and enable the 3rd party software repository, you will be prompted and asked if you’d like to install the proprietary drivers for your specific device.
Now, if we could get the same cooperation and support from the printer manufacturers, we’d be gold.
nVidia just rocks!
