so terrible that vendors can enforce these proprietary licenses on software they paid to develop /s


Huh? Why the sarcasm? You think it's a good thing that someone besides the person who owns the hardware has the final say on what the hardware is allowed to be used for?


of course not, but that's not actually a thing.

and you don't have the final say on what NVIDIA is allowed to do with their software either


That's not actually a thing? I specifically moved away from Nvidia because

1) they choose (chose?) not to supprt standard display protocols that Wayland compositors target with their drivers (annoying, but not the end of the world)

2) they cryptographically lock users out of writing their own drivers for their own graphics cards (which should be illegal and is exactly contradictory to "that's not actually a thing").

Again: look into why the Nouveau driver performance is limited.
