glglwty··on New system76 laptop: Oryx Pro
> they do support the standard interfaces to let other GPUs control the outputs. They just aren't on par with the proprietary drivers performance-wise

Some softwares don't work on nouveau. For example, chromium GPU acceleration and QtWebEngine

glglwty··on New system76 laptop: Oryx Pro
Coreboot but Nvidia? Who's the target audience? Open boot firmware fans who also like Nvidia's proprietary driver?

Edit: I looked at their website and I still don't understand what the marketing term "linux laptop" actually means. Does it power management that follows specs? Do they offer open source firmware upgrade tools that work on linux?

I wonder whether this situation of reverse-enginnering GPU drivers is sustainable. GPUs on ARM SOCs tend to be quite different from each other and most vendors have no interest in collaborating with the linux community. On X86 at least we have Intel and AMD willing to invest in linux drivers.

You can play world of warcraft to feel useful to others. Or mine cryptocurrency. Both are well-designed proof-of-work systems.
glglwty··on School is all about signaling, not skill-building
Technologies like online education would crush the existing education system if the playground is fair. Unfortunately the latter has public funding in it and prevents the society from moving forward.

Even if you do a good job closing the 'loopholes' they can just operate with bitcoin. Stop charging taxes on profit/income and the problem will be solved.
glglwty··on AMD Open Source Driver for Vulkan
Many old gpus store firmwares in non-volatile memory so that OS doesn't need to load them. Such gpus work with linux-libre as long as there is a free driver.

> they work with the inbuilt drivers on every distro out of the box

No they don't work with any distro that uses linux-libre.

glglwty··on ‘I Don’t Really Want to Work for Facebook.’ Say Some Computer Science Students
Maybe a functional society doesn't necessarily rely on jobs with below-living wages? Point is, the question of whether you should pay living wages to every worker is basically equivalent to whether you should provide living income to every person, employed or not. When you enforce a living wage, some jobs would disappear and you have to answer question 2 to people who lost their jobs. I don't have an answer for question 2 but I think recognizing the theoretical equivalency here would make the discussion much more straightforward.

A few years ago an Indian guy changed his name to get admitted into medical school. I wonder how it would play out if more Asians do this. They should try harder messing with the system, forcing schools to do DNA tests, etc.
