I guess my worry is that nvidia has a track record of actively making the open stack harder than necessary, and some of the things suggest the new open driver + new fw blob is going to be a repeat
apple seems to just not care and so more design things in a way that makes sense instead of trying real hard to make the gpl'ed kernel driver as small as possible (now that impossible is out), whether that makes sense or not technically
@sima @marcan @LunaFoxgirlVT @G33KatWork @tnt @lina *nodds in agreement*
#Apple did really leverage the solid basis of #ARM / #ARM64 as a cleaner [not entire clean tho!] slate on their machines.
And whilst I can only speculate upon how Apple 'feels' about @AsahiLinux , I do am convinced that a lot of driver and hardware engineers there would love to commit code if they weren't under dozens of NDAs.
