      @stan The answer to that can be pretty simple, we need FOSS drivers for their parts.
      When you plug a new piece of hardware to your computer you need drivers to access it (Printer, mouse, keyboard, scanner, etc.).
      FOSS drivers allow us to talk to the hardware while closed source drivers makes it really difficult.

          @stan it is easy enough. After all, the drivers get written. So the software exists. What is needed is for the source code to be open sourced and made accessible to study and use.
