Michael should be getting royalties
This might be the first time I’ve ever seen something productive happen in the Phoronix forums. I love that place. Go to any topic with more than about a dozen posts and it’s almost guaranteed to be a flame war. Genuinely one of the funniest places on the Internet.
Check out this one. It took like three posts!
The phoronix forums are insanely toxic. Everything is bad. Gnome = kid’s toy. systemd = written by Satan himself. Every programming language = too slow. Anything vaguely interested in fostering a diversity, equity, and inclusion = true colors come out in full force.
It’s so toxic yet I subject myself to it every now and again. There’s absolutely no moderation going on and it shows.
Any post mentioning Wayland or btrfs is guaranteed to have at least 60 comments
Obviously. X11 and ZFS are far superior. I use Arch, btw.
Man, that guy really likes X11.
Fyi, you’ve linked to page 4, here’s where it starts.
I hope the phoronix forums never die
NVIDIA rep created an account to make this post
AMD rep was already an active member of the community
Unsurprising, yet it still speaks volumes.
NVIDIA is finally starting to play nicely with the community to help sort the driver mess out. Nouveau paired with NVK might actually be the future of NVIDIA graphics under Linux!
Lol
This is how the rest of the industry worked for years. Nvidia was just stuck in the past century.
Does that mean we’ll get more and better firmware updates? Please explain like I’m no firmware dev.
Not really. Instead of dumping all the drivers into one repo, there’s now a separate repo just for GPU drivers, which is just a staging area, before they get merged into the main repo.
If you ask “why”? It’s like creating an extra folder so that your files are organized better.
As an end user, it’s not going to change anything for us.
