Comment Re:AMD more FLOSS friendly than most (Score 1) 88
I want OSS drivers, but what I pay for is hardware that works. I try AMD every few cards, and they still fail every time I try them, and so I gave up.
nVidia got into bed with Microsoft back in the original Xbox days and now the geforce line is inextricably encumbered by Microsoft. Allegedly their mobile (Tegra) line is freer.
I bet any company that was thinking of FOSSing their drivers took one look at AMDs sales (that went exact fuck nowhere) and said "lets not waste our time"...
If they based the whole decision on AMD then they deserve to make bad decisions. There's lots of OSS drivers in the kernel already, let alone supplied separately. AMD is just shit at drivers. Their windows drivers are also shit.
