  • Not all software available on Linux is open source. NVIDIA drivers for example. Hell, most of the games on Steam are closed source.

    So, is it just a matter of principle on Valve and AMD’s part that they only want to ship with fully open source drivers?

    I’m not technically knowledgeable enough to understand why you can’t just make the HDMI 2.1 part of the driver code closed source and the rest of the graphics drivers open?






  • I put 200hrs into that game many years ago. Had a good time for a while, but it was one of those games where eventually a switch clicked in my brain and I felt like I was wasting my life away playing it. So I just stopped.

    The last time I got interested in it again, I saw that the devs had basically abandoned it, or were relying on modders to do all the work to maintain it or something along those lines. I am glad to see people are keeping it alive and making it something more.
