I think it's more nuanced than that:
In the past, AMD just straight up had horrible software.
More recently, AMD have been investing more in open software, probably with the goal that indeed, a community form and they get "leverage" / ROI for their investment.
On the flip side, Intel invest heavily in high-quality but jealously guarded and closed source software.
With this nuance, I'm not so sure it's clear cut which one is "acceptable," and it's an interesting ethical question about Open Source and open-ness in general.
- midjji 5y agoAMD still has horrible software, compare cuda to whatever crap AMD thinks you should use. Truth is its even hard to say what their alternative is, not to mention how horribly poorly they support what is, or at least should be their second if not most important/lucrative target.
