I just remember it taking forever for 'free' drivers to even come close to
proprietary drivers, and I'd guess they're probably still quite a ways off. I
don't use Linux for gaming, though.. so it doesn't matter much to me.

I could swear Debian went completely open source/free like almost a decade ago
or more. Either you had to enable some sort of 'non-free' repository or go out
and get the stuff yourself. I'm guessing Ubuntu followed suit very soon after,
if not immediately.
