New OS development is DEAD until we get an open source GPU

FOSH is hardly a thing, due to costs of physical materials instruments and knowhow in EE compared to tinkertrooning with your cumpooper
with how much this will be a net positive to everyone but stockholders for NVDA, AMD and INTC
unless god sends a divine intellect EE to earth we are fuckety fucked

I assume OP means open source drivers?
Also open specs exists, though rare. Hope it picks up with riscV

I did a fair bit of research about it and unless you either happen to have a few million dollars or a newer e-beam lithographer at home you're not building shit.

>tfw the amdgpu driver makes up over 15% of the Linux Kernel code, not even including userspace Mesa or ROCm code.

The next OS will have NO drivers. We already know what a GPU should do. 100% hardware 0% software.

Software drivers are 99% header files with fixes for specific applications.
