nouveau and Liking It
So yesterday I felt the impulse to give nouveau a shot. For anyone who doesn't know, that's the project with the goal of creating a FOSS for Nvidia graphics cards. Well, as I was installing it -- and even before that, I really had my doubts. After reading endlessly how "2D is in a basic state but 3D is experimental", I predicted that I would have to quickly revert back to the binary blobs before I could get back to my coding work..
That said, I was blown away when I tweaked my X.Org config file a bit and it worked just how I wanted. Well, for the most part anyways. 2D is very fast and overall it's far less laggy for me than it was with the Nvidia drivers. I always experienced lag with them that nobody else seemed to...either I'm sensitive to lag (possible, since I am quite a gamer) or it's because I'm running multiple screens. Or maybe I just have bad luck.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
