Linux and gpu unexpected experience

I almost used linux with intel igpu and i had no trouble, i always read on the web amd it's the way to go for open driver, now i need a discrete gpu and i've bough an rx550 and after a day trying almost everything i discovered this gpu run only with closed driver, i've tryed different distro and different version of the distro and kernel but proprietary driver where the only way to make it work. I also have another pc with an rx580 running windows and i tryed to run a debian livecd to try what does happen, this live is without non free firmware, and the system has booted and loaded the DE, but the resolution was not native, while with other live cd containing non free firmware it boot in fullhd. I didn't dig on it because i don't need to run linux on this systen yet, but i'm curious to know if will be possible to run my rx580 at fullhd with amdgpu open driver.
So after years reading amd is just the best option for open driver on linux i had a really bad experience on it, and i'm guessing what kind of amd gpu is running out of the box on linux at this point.

Stop defending Richard Stallman

There have been tons of influential figures in history with awful dark sides. from Mother Teresa, keeping the donations to herself and claiming it was God's will; to Gandhi writing fan mails to Hitler. My point is nobody is perfect and just because you like someone doesn't mean that you have to blindly defend them.

for past few days after the whole RMS's controversy, I see tons of post here on Reddit and people are defending him. It's not like his first time making these comments. he made same comments in 2003/2006/2012 defending pedophilia, bestiality and incest. in his mind everything is about freedom! even being free to have sex with a minor. to me he is just a neckbeard hippy. but sadly he has gotten so big of a public figure, enough for people to blindly follow him and defend him.

And it's sad and can seriously hurt our community.

Linux kernel 0.01 was released today! 27 years back!

In 1991 September 17, Linus Torvalds released the initial release of Linux Kernal 0.01. On 25 August 1991, Torvalds posted the following to comp.os.minix, a newsgroup on Usenet:

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since April, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months [...] Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

[...] It's mostly in C, but most people wouldn't call what I write C. It uses every conceivable feature of the 386 I could find, as it was also a project to teach me about the 386. As already mentioned, it uses a MMU, for both paging (not to disk yet) and segmentation. It's the segmentation that makes it REALLY 386 dependent (every task has a 64Mb segment for code & data - max 64 tasks in 4Gb. Anybody who needs more than 64Mb/task - tough cookies). [...] Some of my "C"-files (specifically mm.c) are almost as much assembler as C. [...] Unlike minix, I also happen to LIKE interrupts, so interrupts are handled without trying to hide the reason behind them.

Stallman's final interview as FSF president: Last week we quizzed him over Microsoft visit. Now he quits top roles amid rape remarks outcry

Some thoughts.

What a year. First the add-ons outage, now this.

I was going to be disgusted. After reading some more, I don't know what to think.

Free Software now encompasses the whole political spectrum, and the FSF is inherently a political organization, FSF advocating governments use free software, him advocating Wikipedia use the GFDL, using his rhetoric like 'Tivoization'. Frankly, the line between the FSF and Stallman is blurry. Ripping him out may have made things worse.

And its unfortunate, because I care about the FSF's (consumer?) advocacy. Let's call it 'right to install.' Right to install allows me to install any free OS on my PC. The custom ROM and router community would cease to exist without advocacy from both. And now, with this association, companies might be more reluctant to open up.

Other unintended consequences of a messy exit would be condemning him to Xenophobes and confirming their beliefs. (Let's hope I'm wrong.)

I think the takeaway is that the FSF should set clearer boundaries next time. I also agree that new president be found, seeing as he will eventually be really gone, and we might as well get it done.

As for Stallman himself, he must put out a statement detailing everything he knows, removing any doubt whatsoever. Do more research if necessary. Acknowledge that some may not want to read it, and update everyone on the progress of it. Publish it everywhere. This must be cleared up before anyone can feel safe advocating for free software again.

(I can't believe we've had to deal with [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_response_to_the_Wikimedia_Foundation's_ban_of_Fram) again... IN LESS THAN A YEAR.)

Are you afraid of the Cloud, Automation, Iac as a System Admin ?

**1)** Are you afraid of the Cloud, Automation, Iac as a System Admin ?

**2)** Some industry research have shown that most company have a hard time doing/implementing Iac the right way and it's better to go Cloud native... Do you agree with this ?

**3)** Sometimes do you feel like going back to programming full time ?
