Nope it's wrong way thinking. They should try factory with nouveau (it performs mostly equal and sometimes better) than the proprietary in 80% of use case.
For old cards that can be the case. Indeed I used to use nouveau with an old 7600Gt. 2D was beautiful, but 3D was years behind the propietary driver and it was always a few degrees hotter than using the propietary driver even being in idle state. It can be a wrong way of thinking, but it is real life. It might be that these people simply aren't the target audience for Factory (same as lazy people like me XD).
Now for the others, perhaps ( and I use high conditional ) we in community can find a way to propose a build and a hosting of the driver for end users. But is this really useful ? And for which cards, supporting the build for the legacy, g01 g02 g03 and more is just expensive build time & bandwidth if there's no usage behind
It would be nice, but I understand that it is extra work and people has their own lives. If a target have to be choosen, perhaps it would be that for the most recent cards. They're the most problematic ones. I don't know if it would be useful, but I'm sure that it would attract more people to Factory.
