I would not want to use it [Linux or BSD] as my primary desktop system for too many reasons to go into here.

The Linux kernel not having a stable driver ABI is why Linux will never amount to anything outside of some embedded and server applications.

I guess maybe that's their reason.

FreeBSD has stable ABIs (inside one major version).

Anyway, this is not an answer, NVidia drivers had a binary part and a part compiled during installation for the specific kernel version, that's one possible solution. Linux developers are ideologically against this, yes, and don't want binary drivers to be first-class citizens.
