Unfortunately, the average user you help on IRC does not even have a clue how to open a console and type "init 3" and then explain them how to execute and install the nvidia bimnary installer is a real PITA. ( try yourself one day /join #suse)
I know this, that's not the issue here at all.
Users unfortunately does not care a shit about the legal or ethical points on this, if SUSE does not have a quick and **extremely easy** way to do this, they will simple switch to a distribution that is including the drivers or providing a simple tool to install them. or will go back to windows.
for me, and probably to every member of this list, installing the binary driver aint a problem, but to the userbase this is a very seriuos showstopper.
Well, if we tell people _why_ we don't include it, explaining the legal and ethical issues surrounding it, that's the best we can do. If they want to switch to something else for such a stance, I'm not going to feel bad. In short, don't break the law just to appease some people who want you to do so. thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
