Sorta! You can't install it so you can't prove it's the same thing! That's the problem with a locked OS.

- scarface74 4y agoSo you suggest that everyone look through every line of source code to ensure that it is legitimate? Did you also verify that Firefox installed from the App Store was the same as the open source version? Are you using only open sourced code on your phone or are you using Google provided binaries? Are your drivers open source for your chipset? If not, you are also using “locked down code”
- fartcannon 4y agoTowards open source freedom is my goal, not towards Tim Cook's bonus. nvidia just moved more towards open sourcing their drivers. You think that's out of kindness? No, it's because AMD and Intel have open drivers and nvidia is scared to lose market share to them. Vote with your wallet and we can have a better future. I don't care if it's iOS, Android, or Linux! Just that it's actually open.
- scarface74 4y agoNvidia no more moved toward open source than Google with the play store. It still depends on binary closed source blobs. I assure you that Nvidia is not going to lose market share to Intel in the GPU race. Even Apple is creating chipsets Thad trounce Intel in graphics performance.
