They don't need to "create a new driver", nouveau already exists and it's pretty good, they just need to release specifications and/or start helping nouveau.
While it sucks in other areas, no proper XRandR, no KMS, no Wayland, no optimus support, poor suspend/resume/ACPI, poor integration with the rest of the system (user-space), etc.
They have all the right they want, but others are being more open than them, and if they want to remain competitive for the next years to come, they better do something about it.
A stable ABI won't do us good, do you want Linux to be flooded with blobs that make the system a PITA to debug and/or cause stability issues, that's what a stable ABI will give to Linux.
We need specifications, not a stable ABI and/or blobs.
Having a stable ABI will get us tons of blobs from everyone and the system will become a PITA to debug and/or too unstable. Fuck stable ABIs. We need specifications.
Stable ABIs are bad because then we get blobs from everyone and the system becomes a PITA to debug and/or too unstable. Fuck stable ABIs. We need specifications.

Good riddance to that crap.
Bullshit.
Your brain is what is dead. Moron.
Please quit FUDing.
Wrong. All bugs I've reported to Nouveau developers, they all got fixed, so please quit with your FUD.
Nobody is preventing us to implement network transparency in a compositor or whatever.
Bullshit.
Fuck off.

Just go with Intel.

That something will eventually be found with or without nvidia's help. I'm sure.
Fuck nvidia.
My next GPU will be Intel, when I change my motherboard.

How many fucking times do we need to repeat this?
Fuck off.
*That's what a stable ABI will do to Linux.
Do you want to be flooded with binary blobs and make Linux more unstable and a PITA to debug? That's what a stable will do to Linux.
FUCK STABLE ABI.
WE NEED FUCKING SPECIFICATIONS.
Such nonsense.

Stable ABI is bad because then we get flooded of blobs and our system become unstable. I don't want stable ABI, we need specs.
I fully agree with you.
Great comment, my thought too, I wish I could mod you up.
That "patent troll" is just Nvidia' excuse.
Nvidia are pussies, period.
Stable ABI sucks, I don't want Linux to be flooded with blobs that make the system unstable.
