    We weren't attacking anybody. But I'm stick of people defending companies that take away our freedom.

    We should celebrate Linux becoming more inclusive and easier to use not scream at other people for making a decision weather it was informed or not.

    Why should I be happy that proprietary software is easier to use? I want to destroy it. I want to live in a free society.

    I try to be helpful and friendly to newcomers but straight up telling people they should feel bad for making a choice doesn’t fix anything or making negative remarks on something someone is excited about.

    If we don't inform people about this, it will get even worse. Nothing will stop other companies from doing the same.

    Nvidia is trying to make more of their driver open source, the very thing you guys get a hard on about when you complain about it. It’s for the same reason AMD is open source(free labor and vulnerability patches) but still good because better experience.

    But they aren't free software yet. So there is nothing to be grateful for yet. Right now they are taking away their user's freedom. People deserve to be able to control their own computers.

    And guess what, I own an amd cpu and even I can’t ignore them artificially moving the price of their new cups and gpus up the price stack while neglecting to release cheaper more obtainable parts like they used to. It’s almost like they’re all greedy companies and your stiffie for AMD cards are unwarranted.

    Get fucking real, instead of getting bent you should shop for hardware like you’d shop for a toaster oven the features you want, the best value, for the cheapest price.

    This is an issue of ethics. It's not about price or features: https://piped.video/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM

    It's not a battle you fight with random strangers. No one wins and you end up looking like jerk for initiating the conflict.

    Here's a tip, what good is open source AMD drivers if 0% of it can be reused outside of AMD products. Isn't that as open and free as the mesa drivers or could it only benefit the community if and made their architecture open source too.

    I see no difference between AMD and Nvidia because the drm for AMD cards is the hardware same as Nvidia's self hosted open drivers they both use proprietary firmware one of them is just on the card. Stop shilling for AMD, it doesn't look good.
