    Damn; My AMD RX560 died yesterday, forcing me to use my old Nvidia GTX 660 until a replacement arrives - which leads to the system freezing after a few minutes when using nouveau. I hate to say it, but the proprietray driver now ran fine for hours.
    And I don't even know where to get the Logs needed to narrow down what exactly crashes nouveau and why.

    Either support for greenlisting/allowlisting has to be backported to all past kernel versions or Nouveau has to be killed. Forcing it on people is not only unfair but also makes unintended linux piracy skyrocket. Something that didn't really exist before.
    "Linux piracy", "breaking Code Of Conduct".. LOL'ed hard

    how did you arrive at linux piracy argument? i don't exactly follow.
    that person is just bitter and refering to the code of conduct changes where developers are advised to user different terms for new stuff.. so it doesn't affect blacklisting at all...
