AMD already knows their Mesa driver is all around a better user experience than Catalyst, and are making steps to depreciate work done on the Catalyst side by using a free kernel driver. Hopefully soon they will depreciate it entirely and dedicate all their Linux developers to making Gallium great. Because Gallium is not just about playing games anymore. It is the basis for every other free software graphics driver besides Intels. It has the potential to revolutionize not just the Linux ecosystem but all operating systems by providing a well architected way to support dozens of GPUs with one system API and one driver model. It has a state tracker model that lets you run OpenGL, DirectX, OpenMAX, EGL, GLES, etc all on top of one driver implementation. And Nvidia should get in on that, but those who hold the reins over there (business suits) are incompetent twat assholes who don't want to play ball with free software and damn all of us for it, and cripple the industry and any momentum they have because nonsense like "SteamOS only works on Nvidia cards". OpenGL 4.2 will land soon™. A lot of stuff up through 4.5 after that is already done. Once they catch up on OpenGL, hopefully they can fix the performance.
