To quote Fawlty Towers, "Don't mention the graphics card!"
- toyg 9y agoGPUs seem to be the only remaining issue with OEM Linux laptops. I was almost ready to buy a Purism Librem last year after the sad MBP announcements, but I got cold feet because of that. I wish someone had the money to pay one of these companies to polish linux drivers and ship some decent GPUs.

But at least now the kernel drivers (kms, drm) are open source, the GL drivers (mesa) are open as well for Radeon. For some Radeon cards they perform better using the open source drivers than they do with the closed source ones.
