A bunch of comments requested an explanation on graphics drivers, so I decided to take a look at the topic, and explain Mesa, kernel drivers, the Nvidia drivers (Nouveau, NVK, the official modules, and the proprietary driver), as well as AMD drivers (with RadeonSI, RADV, AMDVLK and AMDGPU, plus AMDGPU-Pro), and Intel drivers (with i915, i965, ANV and the new Xe driver).

I hope it helps make things a bit clearer!

Quik2007,

@thelinuxEXP really good video; I get that this was thought of more as an introduction to the graphics stack for Linux newcomers, but I would also like to see similar explanations of other parts of Linux based operating systems (e.g. sound stacks).

@JenLucPiquant Embrace, extend, and extinguish. It’s sad how E-Mail went from an open protocol to… this.

Quik2007,

@kde this opens up great possibilities, thrilled for the future (power saving possibilities, seamless movement between devices, switching DEs/WMs…)

After talking about it with my Patreon supporters, and here on Mastodon, I decided to stop publishing to Odysee. I wrote a short blog post about the reasons, and the options people have to keep watching outside of YouTube if they want to:

It's not a decision everyone will agree with, but it's the one I'm comfortable with.

Quik2007,

@thelinuxEXP I’ve just found out about your website - and it’s an absolutely great insight into your values, story and personality I would definitely like to see more on the (not longer LBRY) channel.

@thelinuxEXP you could also have included proper support for old games/applications.
