| @f3ad697a3d13 @b212b0968a8a As long as it will be cheaper than what RaptorComputing charges for their Power9 lineup  |
| then I'm on board.                                                                                                   |

| @b212b0968a8a @f3ad697a3d13 Yes, most of computers are 15 year old and run GNU Boot because I care about that stuff. |
| Of course I'm interested in more modern hardware using RISC-V that I can potentially replace these aging machines    |
| with.                                                                                                                |

| @b212b0968a8a @f3ad697a3d13 I understand that this is a niche market and that these companies are not Apple or       |
| Microsoft or something.                                                                                              |

| But it apparently a big enough niche market for these companies to invest in so I see that as a win.                 |
|                                                                                                                      |
| GNU/Linux marketshare is also currently growing, this niche will only get bigger.                                    |
|                                                                                                                      |

| @f3ad697a3d13 @b212b0968a8a Companies that actually have user freedom as their top priority definitely have an       |
| incentive look into it, such as Purism or MNT Reform.                                                                |

| Also companies that don't have freedom that at least take it into consideration, such as Framework, which I          |
| mentioned earlier are interested to have RISC-V devices on offer.                                                    |

| @4817ae51eb52 @60a7d21d3d03 Then at the very least release the parts that you can release.                           |

| @m मी @60a7d21d3d03 If the Steam Controller firmware has an issue or a bug you're just screwed and all you can do is |
| beg for the developer to fix it.                                                                                     |

| @m मी @60a7d21d3d03 That also sounds terrible but at least this is free software so you can fix these issues in your |

| @fba01a6c4d26 @60a7d21d3d03 @4817ae51eb52 Exactly. They make money on the actual hardware, right? Software for an    |
| input device such as a game controller is hardly unique.                                                             |

| Just release it. Just add a license file and set that git repo to "public". It takes 1 minute of work.               |

| @Pi_rat Well it would have been a perfect controller to play free video games with, except that it requires          |
| proprietary firmware.                                                                                                |
