I hate Linux Graphics (Linux Hater's Blog)
The Linux Hater's Blog has a rant on the state of 3D graphics in Linux Alright, so as soon as I started bitching about graphics, my coworker, lets just call him Linux Graphics Hater (warm applause everyone ready those tomatoes!), went off on a rant the technical reasons why open source ATI and intel drivers still suck ass He also corrected me that nvidia might actually be making money from some of these linux drivers

todd: chuck: doesn't nvidia have closed source drivers? ati has been a bit crap but amd bought them and they recently announced a completely open source driver (no binary firmware anything) that they contracted suse (novell) to write for them. that's not available yet, but it is v. interesting.

Chuck: Oh yeah they are totally closed... I just use them because they work :-) I do have hope though that the ATI drivers will eventually get there, it will just take time.

smckenzie23: Yeah, I'm sure it is just a maturity thing. Cut the Linux some slack... heck it isn't even 20 years old yet. :-P
