  • Then it’s not even a year old. The things that see the most movements performance wise are focused on AMD and NVidia. I’m not convinced there will be a huge difference between what he measured then and what you would measure today.

One of the core principles of open source was that if you were distributed something, you have to retain the right and possibility to modify it to your use case.

So in the OS spirit, even if creators put guards in place, end users have to be able to modify what was distributed to them
