Open-sourcing the drivers won't mean shit. They'll still underperform
and cause crashes because the people who will be working on "improving"
them are so incompetent that they might as well be cleaning Joseph "7"
Michael out of toilets alongside Wideload Porkster. Five years from now,
even afer this change, AMD's GNU/Linux drivers will still be awful and
games will STILL require NVIDIA first.
