Hi, usually i like more to compare melons with lemons, in any way the sure thing is: if i have a radeonsi installed in my machine the result is a not usable desktop system or in the worst case the lookup of the machine. this because systemctl enable lightdm.service by default and there is no way to switch to VT or resume the system. I hope this will be fixed because EGL made the glamoregl.so crashes on Big Endian and is a really worst bug who made all the user with X5000 system or with Quad G5 or with IBM RS 970MP with a RadeonSI hardware cant run at all linux because the freezing of it.

Warp3D Nove is a low level gateway to the GPU's shader processors, and some external (as in: it's a separate executable, IIRC) shader compiler tool added to it (which is BTW, only a port of Kronos' SPIR-V compiler), plus an optional OpenGL ES2 layer on top of it. It's a much much much simpler stack than a full fledged MESA implementation. Also, it was done by the same guy who wrote the Radeon driver underneath, and it only supports a single GPU family so far, which also makes everything a lot simpler. But what makes the real difference, it has a dedicated maintainer, which is not true for MESA, or GPU drivers on (big endian) Linux/PowerPC. As it is now, Warp3D Nova might deliver more impressive results for home users with toys and games on a specific hardware, but not suitable to support large CAD/CAM and professional 3D software, and doesn't serve as a quasi-reference open source implementation for an all-industry graphics standard.
