minus-squarefonix232@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoActually, that’s not what I want or need. First party support here needs to include system drivers (including GPU) from primary sources (aka no “just add this repo and install this DKMS and run that installer”, it should work OOTB for the most common hardware).
