Sure you are:
>If they find the nouveau driver lacking, they should improve it, not sabatoge it.
Not supporting a buggy driver is hardly "sabotaging it". It's not their job to make it work.
>If they don't want to put the work in, then they should just leave well enough alone.
And in doing so, their least-technical Linux users will suffer from sudden crashes that they don't understand. Now how does that help Linux?
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoDid you deliberately omit the end of that quote to make your point look better? I gave them an out: a demand with an out is not a demand. >If they don't want to put the work in, then they should just leave well enough alone. nouveau doesn't crash, but some cards may experience occasional glitches. That's something you need to take up with Ubuntu, not Chromium.
- Operyl 8y agoI'm demanding you not do the same in your own software, by this logic. You've done the same crap in the past, man: https://drewdevault.com/2017/10/26/Fuck-you-nvidia.html https://drewdevault.com/2017/10/26/Fuck-you-nvidia.html
- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoLike I said to your other comment: >The Nvidia driver does not "work" in my project. I have added no code which explicitly blacklists it, and the day Nvidia releases a driver which implements the required APIs it will work with no changes in my code.
