    I’m sorry, but your assertion that those who are upset with nvidia are mostly “newbs” is nonsense.

    Plenty of more experienced users despise nvidia as well, and they have done immense damage to the Linux desktop.

    In fact I would argue the opposite, given the proliferation of distros focused on new users which specialise in making nvidia drivers easily accessible for these users.



  • It is much more difficult than that imo.

    Many of the Chromium forks have small teams, sigificantly smaller and with little actual in-engine experience compared to Firefox for example.

    These teams need to have sufficient resources to maintain a reasonably significant fork of a standard, which will likely get harder over time, and which none of them presently deal with, as they ride the standards implemented by Chromium so far.

    Additionally they would have to maintain their own extension stores, which many presently don’t.
