Aww, yeah, nigga. Finally gonna upgrade my GNU/Linux box.

Ok, good for PCs, but phone graphics are still not open.

Phones are the devil and you probably shouldn't have one.

Praying that AMD will release the last blobs or at least give documentation so that someone can code some software to replace them.
Staying onto decade old Nvidia compatible nouveau GPU until they do so.

Librem 5

Don't hype user you know that it's not good

Damn, you are retarded.

30bit support when

Per usual, it's all about muh gaymes!

Illumos deserves more love. :^(

keep praying
they already announced that they won't be releasing any psp code and instead hired (((3rd party))) security firms to audit the code, don't worry goyim it's all safe.

Are the Opengl drivers on Linux better than on Windows?
I've had tons of issues with PCSX2 on Windows because the devs say AMD's opengl drivers sucks

AMDGPU is open source, its only AMDGPUPRO which has a few binary blobs specific to their enterprise grade cards.

This however

Using (((ARM))), poor choice since the newer proccessors for them are most certainly backdoored. Unless they open source the uboot and the little kernel too. But (((they))) would rip the librem people a new one if that happened.

Is this where all the AMD shills have been coming from?

Don't hold your breath. Just buy a keplar series gpu to use nouveau on and be done with it. You don't need anything more powerful unless you are doing 4k gaming. In which case I wonder how the dual GPU/SLI support in nouveau is....

PSP is a CPU thing, no? Does it relate to AMD GPUs or this thread?

What is wrong with AMDGPU (including this patch in mind)? Why would one buy old NVIDIA gpu instead of RX 460/470/480 and use open source AMDGPU drivers?

Because in the linux kernel the AMD kms driver loads a blob to translate the ISA for each AMD GPUread very important for the stupid. In nouveau you don't need a blob to access the pci memory adresses or make native ISA calls to the GPU.

Which also means you can debug it if you port it to another cpu arcitecture other than x86. So you can use nvidia gpu's with nouveau on other CPU's. But not AMD unless they compile or distribute that translation layer to another arcitecture.

What the fuck is the point of labeling drivers as "open source" if it is gonna need blob to work?

Is it only so it can be included in kernel and it is more convenient?

Are owners of older AMD GPUs still fucked over?

I have a kepler GPU, and nouveau always glitched out after a few minutes and made anything graphical unusable. I'd get all sorts of weird multicolored vertical bars/lined covering the screen that would flash and flicker and change colors if I moved the mouse or did something to change what should be displayed. I switched to the proprietary drivers and everything works fine. I've been using them ever since.

Is this related to that time about half a year ago when AMD submitted a new graphics driver in the form of 100000 lines of shitty HAL code and the kernel maintainer told them to shove it up their ass? It went something like "This is shit. I can't merge this or Linus will literally shank me. Fix it and try again."

There is a distinction between drivers and firmware. Drivers are a part of your OS, but the firmware runs on the device itself.

Fully open.
The drivers are open source, but a blob is loaded into the device. This does not taint the kernel.
Fuck knows what it does. When you load this shit, you'll get a message in dmesg informing you that your kernel is now tainted and that you will get no support if you encounter problems.

Yes, for (((convenience))).

Wait, so the blob IS actually loaded into the kernel in this case? If that's true, then I stand corrected. That means these drivers aren't actually open source. They may be "partially open source", like AMDGPUPRO, but no one calls it open source because it's not.

I was originally replying just to point out that drivers can be open source even though they require a blob, as long as the blob is just firmware to be loaded onto the device and is not loaded into the kernel.

Thank you for the info , but work on that edge. It's not funny, it's annoying.

I already do GPU passthrough but its good they aren't being fags about it. Vega GPU passthrough is fucked atm but when its fixed Freesync Monitor plus Vega 64

And still no support for Wayland.

It's about games and VR porn.

And it's no free software thus under a cuck license which permits them to have blobs.
False, install the linux-libre kernel you'll see.

I wonder how Nouveau will adjust since Nvidia started signing the firmware images for their cards.

GNU/Linux-libre user here using dedicated Intel graphics. It's not great. But not terrible either.

Nvidia only did that because (((they))) picked up on someone making a truly non-backdoored software for GPU's. Which is a big no no for goyim lack of privacy. If you use a kepler based card you have the best GPU on FOSS money can buy. You could even use it on proccessors arcitectures other than x86 which is a big no no for goyim lack of privacy.

How's that reclocking support coming?

Go ask them in IRC. I don't dare contribute to a FOSS project lest I be targeted by ZOG. Last I heard though is that they had hacked a solution together to read temperature and control the over/underclocking of the cards. But they still haden't gotten fan control.

Oh and be wary of them since some of their contributers are from (((redhat))). (((They))) already shoahed someone trying to port nouveau to the BSD's.

Then your opinion is worthless. Goodbye.

A little bit unrelated, but:
wat do

I just said 'fuck it' and went back to vanilla. Was surprised at the speed increase.

I'll miss PaX.

You can still use pam and pax and mac without a grsec patched kernel, I believe.

I could be wrong.

That bullet would leave this little boy's brow ridge and just make him blind.

That's Kamui Kanna, a dragon belonging to the Chaos faction. This sounds like fucking yugioh when taken out of context.
