oh yeah, here's the thing

i only run amd hardware

that's the other problem with wayland is they are way focused on getting nvidia and intel working and nothing works on radeon

even though there is no such thing, in reality, as a closed source AMD driver anymore, but no, nvidia works better... with wayland... which is another element of my hostility here... intel and nvidia are far less friendly than amd, and amd hardware is cheaper and better designed now

it was absolutely astounding when i got this RX7800XT earlier this year how hard it was to find one goddamn live usb that actually got a screen running

ubuntu, with llvmpipe cpu rendering, and zorin OS 17, so i got zorin, and i even paid because fuck nvidia, fuck intel, and fuck mozilla and fuck them all

that's my point

they open sourced their drivers 100%, earliest, their chips are simpler and more parallel, and they are around equal power utilization now

it just shows that all the money nvidia and intel are throwing at the linux foundation is being used to keep the competition behind a fence if you ask me, because on basis of open source philosophy and simplicity, it should be the best option

the way that it seems like all of silicon tech is against them makes me more sticky... they probably have less backdoors in their shit too, i mean, spooks are gonna put em where the most people are, right?

also, i always feel like i'm gonna break intel CPUs when i go to install them on a motherboard, their hardware is soft, with amd CPUs it feels industrial
