Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

And that is why we don't rely on companies for any part of our open source stuff.

Thinking that open-source does not depend to a large degrees on companies is idealistic at best. I don't like it anymore than you do, but i've been doing 100% open-source all the time as part of my job and our sponsors that actually move the needle are corporate.

I understand the sentiment, but it is sensible for hardware vendors to provide drivers for their products. They're certainly in the best position to do it.

I guess chip makers would stop doing open source development? The community should reverse engineer everything like the Apple m series chips?
