Some notes on Linux and free drivers Posted Apr 29, 2006 2:35 UTC (Sat) by zealot (guest, #37421) [Link] Cool, this I will buy. I can stand slow open source drivers much better than I can stand binary only drivers. Because I can fix the first problem...The open source drivers are not slow, the hardware is (with respect to 3D performance). At the moment you have to choose between fast hardware with binary-only drivers and slow hardware with open source drivers. That's the dilemma. I like to play fancy-looking games on my computer from time to time, so I have no choice. If I had the choice between open- and closed-source drivers, I'd use the one that works better. If I used an open-source driver and found a bug, I'd try to fix it (with the help of kernel developers). It's as simple as that.
