What is stopping people from adding a GPU to this class of system ?
- classichasclass 7y agoFrom a hardware perspective, nothing. I have one in my Talos II and it runs rather better in Wayland than my Blackbird, though I'm usually in X.org. My only objection here is why performance would be so terrible without one. It was also part of an experiment to see how cheap I could make the loadout and still have an adequate system. However, from a libre computing perspective, the WX7100 in my Talos II requires firmware which is non-open, even though it is included in Linux. I imagine that this market would include people interested in reducing the amount of firmware they don't control as much as possible, so for this niche, that is relevant.
