But if you don't go around and visit their sites, you only have opensource drivers in kernel of course. So it is linux kernel that recommends amdgpu/radeon/nouveau drivers, but not blobs of course, those are just out of tree potentional recommendation, etc...
If you are saying that we should set up in competition with the various third-party repo packagers and offer our own open-source-based overlay packages for released distros that's reasonable and probably something we should do eventually, it just seems that there are more important things for us to be doing right now.Test signature

In the Linux case the drivers are open source + upstream because that's how the Linux ecosystem works.

I didn't said anywhere that you are a fool . On one hand you have what opensource developers recommends that are oss drivers, which is expected, obvious so normal Also users who value opensource, recommend that too - me too, when they works fine of course and if they don't satisfy i recommend else to try too.
So as soon as you go out of linux "apple to apple" tree there is a different story too... so if you value reallity also, now go at AMD site and tell me what you see there

I hope your patches make it into 4.9 kernel.
