Original OSNews Interviews Today we feature a very interesting interview with Havoc Pennington. Havoc works for Red Hat, he is heading the desktop team, while he is well known also for his major contributions to GNOME, his GTK+ programming book, plus the freedesktop.org initiative which aims to standardize the X11 desktop environments. In the following interview we discuss about the changes inside Red Hat, Xouvert, freedesktop.org and Gnome's future, and how Linux, in general, is doing in the desktop market.

RE: what's the best video card for linux right now?

It is most probably Nvidia. I picked them because the linux drviers for their cards support all the card's 2D features. I also think for linux they have just one driver that supports all their cards. And lastly, it is update fairly regularly. I'm referring to their closed-source/proprietary drivers. I understand the open source version of the driver is lacking.
