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

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

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?
