MJBrune, 5 months ago Yeah, basically. Which raises a question: how companies with much smaller market share can justify providing support, but Nvidia, a company that dominates the GPU market, can’t? I feel like it’s the opposite as Nvidia provides a lot of Linux support by providing an open source kernel module (github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) while AMD gets proprietary blobs into the Linux kernel ( trisquel.info/…/configure-2d-and-3d-graphics-acce…). How come Linux is supporting AMD more than Nvidia currently?
