I sympathize with the frustration that comes along with the realization that hardware you own cannot be used with free software. I would like to alert people to the fact that certain GPUs won’t be usable with linux-libre. I just think that there might be a better distro-independent place for this kind of information. Some free distros suggest checking for free software compatibility on h-node.org, a shared resource. That’s also where we could record known bad GPUs. (h-node.org isn’t the prettiest resource out there, but perhaps this can be changed.) Do you think it would be enough if we pointed to h-node.org and mentioned kernel flags that might be useful in certain generic cases? -- Ricardo
