Why an Open Source GPU and PCI-E Controller

#1
Sometime ago, I set out to create an open source GPU(currently using Clash-Haskell -> Verilog -> FPGA) that supports Linux Mesa as well as an accompanying PCI-e controller.

Needless to say, this is quite a challenging task to do in one's spare time after work. I'm wondering if there is value in such an implementation beyond doing it for the sake of doing it.

The royal/collective we need to get the ball rolling, need to get more than just open source cpus underway. Thank you for pushing us forward, getting us rolling! Epicly hard work.

WDYM by royal collective?

A "we" bigger than any of us.
