Yes. Yes I want my GPU, wifi and bluetooth to work. Get over yourselves and leave that checkbox checked by default.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoHuh? I absolutely do not want proprietary drivers tainting my kernel. I barely tolerate firmware blobs. So far only nvidia has required such drivers.
- dvngnt_ 3y agosome people do
- AeroNotix 3y agoSpeak for yourself.
- gkbrk 3y agoGPU, Wifi and Bluetooth commonly work with open source drivers
- comex 3y agoMore often the issue is firmware rather than drivers.
- TillE 3y agoIt's not an arbitrary ideological decision, it's a legal one. Blame Microsoft for their dumb license on dxil.dll which, as I read it, would require Godot to add some kind of click-through agreement.
- sterlind 3y agoReminds me of the baffling license on redistributing MS's C runtime as a DLL rather than an MSI, leading to everyone having 12 different versions installed, and not being able to ship programs that run without being installed first. I have no clue why they did this. I work for MS and I'm as annoyed about it as anyone.
