Originally posted by L_A_G View PostOk... What are you trying to say here? I've said since my first post in this thread that Nvidia doesn't need top open up anything and can just as well continue what they're doing. Sucks if you're hard core enough to demand everything to be open source, but I personally don't care as I'm using Nvidia's binary blobs and I have no intention to switch over to the Noveau unless they offer better compatibility or performance.
I'm the same boat as you are: happy blob user. I'd happily switch to a working AMD solution, but only if it can offer similar performance and prompt support for newer kernel and X server revisions. What a driver can do is more important (to me) than how it does it.

I can tell you now that you will come back saying 'I didn't know it was THAT BAD' because AMD drivers are still terrible, even when you get them working with your favorite games they perform terrible.

It is also listed as supporting Ubuntu 14.04.4 and comes with a rather scary list of known limitations and issues. I mean, no software is bug-free, but "Multi-GPU features are not supported" and "Only basic display and power features are enabled and validated"? Really?
