That way lies the Land of Windows Bloat!
Amen!
JFTR my stone age ATI graphics, when using the FLOSS driver, can be used
without any performance issues for Google Earth, it's quick as a flash,
but using Cinnamon is impossible. That's ridiculous! Cinnamon and
similar desktops are simply written by people who don't know how to
program correctly. It's not a driver acceleration issue, if it's
possible to use software such as Google Earth without performance
issues, but using a DE as Cinnamon is impossible.
