You have no solution to non 3D heavy cards, you have no solution to
non-Linux hardware platforms. Most of your linux ideas have been thrown
out repeatedly as half-baked on multiple lists.

mesa-solo is a *research* project. If it works out then in two years

doing important work to cripple what you perceive as a rival is just
wrong.
