Excellent news that I read from the hands of Engadget and that I bring you next. Well, as the title says, NVidia has joined The Linux Foundation, becoming the 3rd company to produce graphics chips to do so.
AMD e Intel They have been members for a long time, and although this new union will not see a radical change in the current policy of NVidiaWe hope that in the future the support will improve and the drivers will work much better. As well indicated in Engadget:
For Tegra chips, NVIDIA has incorporated changes to the Linux kernel under the GPLv2 license, however, the graphics drivers for the GPU that are part of the Tegra chips remain proprietary.
This is certainly excellent news. It is because of these things that I say that I do not understand how many people continue to think that we are still the 1% of yesteryear.
o3o oooh, it sounds good, especially now that I have unexpectedly loaded the laptop screen>: U dropped it and I can't take it to service (and I don't have money to repair my clumsiness, lol) to monthly payments (or I still use this as a desktop computer attached to a monitor, lol)
Buy it quickly because if not the Sandy Carcamal is going to be bothering you all the time, you will see what a cross.
What bothers me about these graphics is installing the drivers, not like with the Intel that is not necessary.
But this looks good, so the graphics market expands
You install the Intel drivers, otherwise the graphics won't work. That they are free and your distribution does it by default, well, it is okay, but install them, they install.
And by the way, I haven't had to install NVIDIA's proprietary driver for quite some time (which I suppose is what you mean), because Nouveau already works quite well 🙂
What I mean is that, in Arch for example, if I don't install the Intel nothing happens, which with Ati or Nvidia you have to do, if the system doesn't work.
Well, if I don't install xf86-video-intel I have it wrong ... well, zero video, zero everything. And I don't have Ati or Nvidia, it's just a laptop with 128MB of onboard video.
In the computer that broke, I didn't have to install anything to make everything work for me, Intel too
Because when you install the Xorg package, one of its dependencies is xf86-video-intel and the proprietary ones from NVIDIA or AMD, not 🙂
Here is the detail, that I do not install the Xorg package as such ... I install only the only ones I need, I do not want it to install packages for Ati, etc 🙂
Well, let's see if they improve that way, although AMD has been taking years and its graphics are still the worst supported ...
Perhaps they have started to take an interest now that Wayland seems to be ready to launch its version 1.0 and that Intel is taking some advantage in that field. If anything, I think this is excellent news.
Very good news: D.
Greetings.
Well, they are already taking time to bring Optimus to Linux.
I don't know what will be positive about this, they will continue to make their "proprietary" drivers
nothing changes for me
I will continue to feel free with nouveau
Nor does it seem to me that anything changes, as it is enough to see the terrible support of ATI in Linux, and it has been part of the same project long before the union of Nvidia. Hopefully I'm wrong, and there will be benefits to users in a more forceful way.
PS: How cute the Chakra logo looks ... xD
Thank you for attending the pleas… 🙂
however I don't see mine from debian, something is wrong here xD

In fact, the author of the plugin added the support officially, as I made the request on his website in a comment ... O_O ... they included my nick in the changelog. Now I'm writing to him explaining the improvement that [b] Isar [/ b] made to the Iron browser, and telling him if they have to add someone to him
Ayyyyy the egoo !! Nothing else occurs to me hahahaha
Those carcamal labels
That's right, the first thing people think is that they are going to touch the wide end of a funnel and the worst thing is that as far as I know it is the opposite.
First of all, being "joining the Linux Foundation", being a platinum, gold, silver member, etc., is only a matter of tickets. In other words, if you Mr. X make the corresponding donation of tickets, you are already "a member", it has nothing to do with code, commitments, or that you develop something.
Now, what would he gain from that? Leaving aside the movies that a bunch of geeks would ride that would put them through the roof, they would earn the right to do marketing with Linux and its brands, discounts on Linux training (anyone who use Linux systems is good for this), voice and vote at "Linux Foundation meetings."
Maybe my eyesight is bad, but I see that the width of the funnel is for others. This does not imply any guarantee that there will be more commitment to GNU / Linux.
Simple everyone is focused on Android and everyone wants their slice, for that they join if they did not have it first it would be for an interest. Amd and intel did it for the servers.
Definitely good news
