Blame NVIDIA instead. If they had open source their blobs, it would have been everywhere out of the box. Most evil company for open source ever.

- opan 5y ago>Most evil company for open source ever. I won't ever defend nvidia, but... I really think Broadcom is worse. They've ruined tons of routers and wireless cards. Also, the Raspberry Pi is full of blobs because of them.
- pjmlp 5y agoRaspberry Pi seems to be doing just fine with them, whereas the FOOS competition is where exactly?
- pantalaimon 5y agoAllwinner, Rockchip and Mediatek seem do be doing just fine without all the blobs.
- pjmlp 5y agoSo where are their Raspberry Pi like boards being adopted like crazy by the Maker community?
- nopenopenopeno 5y agoI’m not looking to blame anybody. System76’s approach just conflicts with my priorities when choosing an Ubuntu-based distro. I prefer to not have my OS surprise me with requirements that I replace a major portable dev tool standard with one of their bespoke unmaintained side projects. I doubt I am alone and maybe others will find the info useful. I just can’t trust their work any longer after realizing they were serious about that tool of theirs being a replacement.
