Originally posted by phoenk View PostThis argument isn't about software freedom though. It is a purely technical discussion. No one in this debate is against the proprietary driver because of its license, but because it doesn't conform to an otherwise well-adopted standard. As a result, developers now have to support two standards: the one agreed upon by most of the community, and the one nvidia is parroting more or less on its own. You don't see a headline about "compositor X now including support for AMD's open source drivers," because that is default through using a widely implemented interface.

As far as I know, EGL Streams has quite a few shortcomings and would not be technically superior to GBM (which has a few, different, shortcomings as well). That's why both sides agreed to build a better solution after all. How is it going, by the way? I haven't heard of it in a long time.

It's actually quite difficult to find some stats. The first thing I found is the table at the end of that article, which would put nvidia at 16%: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-amd-inte...share-q3-2016/
