AMD open sources their Vulkan driver (and already uses open source kernel drivers). https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd-open-vulkan&num=1 … Meanwhile, Nvidia signs their firmware and refuses to release it so Nouveau can use it. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nouveau-XDC2017 … Guess which GPU brand my next machine will be using.
Nouveau works. I'm actually quite happy on my order card. *Much* better than the blob (performance and usability wise). But due to lack of reclocking on newer cards the performance is basically 2D/Intel level.
