It's not that ideological though. The fact is nVidia cards exist and they need a open source driver.
*If you need opensource driver buy amd card and issue solved

Maybe that *is* Linux in the 21st century... I sure hope not thoughLast edited by bridgman; 23 September 2017, 02:38 PM.Test signature

These days it seems that even writing an installer for open source driver code has become an "oh we can't do that only AMD can do it" thing.

I guess this *is* Linux in the 21st century, baby
But we are just worried about the final (I hope, soon) result.
Operating systems based on Linux are able to "work out of the box", and we all want it soon to see with the AMD drivers.

I really think the nvidia devs would give those information, but they are likely forbidden to do so.
If this situation goes on as new gpus will come out, nouveau will not be functional anymore.
Nowadays Nvidia thrives with the cudapoly, opensource is not a big part of it's business.

So it's not like it did,nt happen, just not to the extent many people anticipated. You guys have the talent, you already hired them.
I'm not complaining about lack of driver contributions, just about how "open source but not yet upstream" code has seemingly become an insurmountable obstacle for the larger community. I honestly expected to see more in the way of community contributions to distro-specific package building & publishing if we published the driver code.
We can do it all ourselves, even the packaging, but I really did believe that we should focus our efforts on driver development and let others deal with distro-specific integration.Last edited by bridgman; 23 September 2017, 03:03 PM.Test signature
