- pabs3 4y agoDo the same as the Linux kernel community, don't allow proprietary drivers in Android. Linux doesn't allow proprietary drivers and now it has an open source driver for ARM Mali GPUs, Android should stop using the proprietary driver and use the open source driver. Whenever a vendor wants to have a proprietary driver, say no thanks, or reverse engineer the driver. A bunch of volunteers working part-time figured out how to make open source Apple M1 GPU drivers and Google has a ton of money so it could easily hire say 100-1000 people to reverse engineer proprietary drivers full-time and rewrite them from scratch.
