You can also go to https://h-node.org to see if your specific model works
with free software.
Before purchasing any Nvidia card, be sure to go to Wikipedia to see what
chipset is the card based on. For example, you can search for pages named
something like "Nvidia GeForce 700 Series" (However, I can't do this for you,
because Wikipedia has been completely censored in China one year
Yes, go with Intel VGAs to be safe. I do not have any NVIDIA/ATI but
only Intel so I never find any problem with VGA on Trisquel.
Yes, and lots of 750ti's for under $40 on ebay. Might be worth grabbing a 780
and a 750, see how they run. Re-sell the one that's not needed back on ebay.
> For me what I think I will do long term is still look to invest in a Talos
II system for gaming but not use Trisquel on it. It won't be fully libre
software then but will be more libre than running an X86 CPU.
It's a fair and honest viewpoint, but for me, if I'm going to spend that much
Seeing that a GT 710 seems to work with Trisquel I would be a little
surprised if a GTX 750 Ti didn't work. I just did some quick browsing on Ebay
and even a GTX 780 Ti 4GB can be had for $100 CAD so I may look into that as
well. At that price even if it didn't work for what I wanted I would
AMD is more friendly to free software than Nvidia but it is not totally
friendly. The microcode and firmware of AMD GPUs are still closed off blobs,
it is the drivers that are open source. So the issue is that when trying to
use many newer GPUs from AMD on Trisquel they don't work properly
What's wrong with ATI/AMD?
I've read they are more friendly to free software than Nvidia.
I'm looking for the same solution, as I'd like to get a Talos Blackbird
motherboard if Trisquel 9 is ported to the Power9 chip like has been
discussed. Intel is not a solution for that, so maybe the GTX750Ti would
work. All I need is basic graphics, nothing special. I've read that the
All Intel integrated graphics are good. Although starting Skylake, Intel
integrated graphics required non-free firmware, they could still work without
non-free firmware with no observable performance penalty.
For Nvidia discrete graphics, the latest acceptable card was GM107
(GTX750Ti).
I wonder this as well, I am trying to build a PC too.
I suggest h-node.org which has libre-compatible video cards-- but I haven't
begun searching for a GPU yet so please let me know if you find a nice card!
What is the newest desktop GPU that works with Trisquel ? The best I can find
sold anywhere with a desktop system from places like Vikings is a GT 710. I
have even had issues with Trisquel not working right with an old HD 4350 of
mine although it may have been an issue with the motherboard,
