Originally posted by asdx1- Nvidia has ignored Linux developers with everything they propse to make things better, Nvidia have said no to many things (Wayland, providing specifications for nouveau, etc).
And how does not providing specs to nouveau devs "damage" Linux? As we've seen with AMD, even specs don't mean Linux suddenly reaches new heights. The open drivers don't even have opengl 3.2, let alone opengl 4 and beyond. Specs from Nvidia won't magically change that.
So if anything, the Nvidia blob has *helped* Linux, by providing top-notch opengl 4 support to those who need it.
Originally posted by asdx2- Users still don't have support for Optimus, after how many years?
Originally posted by asdx3- XRandR wasn't supported for years, and they added some support just recently
Originally posted by asdx4- Did I said how hostile they are with developers by refusing to provide specifications for nouveau?
Originally posted by asdxI could go on and on but I will stop now.

So the "damage" from the blob not using KMS is... ?

Hmm, should I mention that Nvidia had accelerated indirect rendering well before the open drivers had AIGLX? And that they had redirected direct rendering well before open drivers had DRI2? Or that they had in-kernel memory management before either TTM or GEM existed? Nah...
