Blame NVIDIA instead. If they had open source their blobs, it would have been everywhere out of the box. Most evil company for open source ever.

I won't ever defend nvidia, but... I really think Broadcom is worse. They've ruined tons of routers and wireless cards. Also, the Raspberry Pi is full of blobs because of them.

Raspberry Pi seems to be doing just fine with them, whereas the FOOS competition is where exactly?

Allwinner, Rockchip and Mediatek seem do be doing just fine without all the blobs.

So where are their Raspberry Pi like boards being adopted like crazy by the Maker community?

I’m not looking to blame anybody. System76’s approach just conflicts with my priorities when choosing an Ubuntu-based distro. I prefer to not have my OS surprise me with requirements that I replace a major portable dev tool standard with one of their bespoke unmaintained side projects. I doubt I am alone and maybe others will find the info useful. I just can’t trust their work any longer after realizing they were serious about that tool of theirs being a replacement.
