Will they ever make FOSS drivers for their acquisition cards? Their proprietary blob only supports ancient kernels, it's completely unusable.

[darkbasic]

I love your products but I think you completely missed the target price for this one. If I have to spend 900$ on a mobo which allows me to use no more...

[darkbasic]

That would be interesting, especially natives FOSS games so you can actually test them in both native and qemu x86. Also please compare to an x86 cpu...

[darkbasic]

Everybody would love that. Hopefully Intel's discrete GPUs won't require proprietary firmware, but I wouldn't bet on it....

[darkbasic]

How long will you keep the system? Would love to see more and more tests....

[darkbasic]

Great system, would love to have one.

[darkbasic]

I understand it from a developer point of view, but I must repeat the it doesn't prove anything regarding coreboot public interest. It just proves how...

[darkbasic]

That comes straight from Michael, I think he knows pretty well because he owns almost every card existing.
Regarding Polaris I'm sorry to inform...

[darkbasic]

The alternative isn't AST2500. There are Nvidia GPUs like 780 Ti with no blob whatsoever.



I don't think there is any, but probably...

Just buy the same ssd brand or simply dd the content of the Windows ssd into the one that you used for linux. Simple and quick.
If you use dd you...

[darkbasic]

Does keeping it installed in a separate SDD cost so much? It's just 50$ for the SSD......

[darkbasic]

I quote every single word. Even people not interested in free software want a shit-free experience and bioses are NOT delivering it....

[darkbasic]

Did we ever have a single coreboot compatible motherboard? No...
How can you measure the interest when there are no compatible products? Just look...

[darkbasic]

Makes no sense because of the proprietary firmware. Why would you buy a Talos if you plan to pollute it with proprietary stuff?...

[darkbasic]

Agree, it's quite competitive right now. Unfortunately 8 channels will be a must once the new 48-64 cores / 8 channels Threadripper gets released....

"If you are on a recent kernel (say Linux 4.16+ appears to be in good shape), the Btrfs RAID code for these levels should be in good shape."...

[darkbasic]

Uhm... I don't think raid 5/6 is considered safe enough for production.

[darkbasic]

Then something must be broken with h264ify because the 60 fps version doesn't show up.

[darkbasic]

No since one year they don't anymore. I have a Chrome extension called h264ify which removes vp9 support but still [email protected] doesn't get shown anymore...

[darkbasic]

If you want a FOSS PC just buy Talos.
