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.

It's not all roses over at
@AMD either though. They've flatly refused to open-source the PSP, or give us an off switch, or allow us to flash to our own open firmware.
I was talking about GPUs. Intel isn't any better in the CPU world, they both suck.
