This is a collaborative effort, so...you can collaborate too instead of criticize...that being said AFAIK the problem is that the gpu driver is being basically reverse engineered to make it work in the newer kernels because the chipset manufacturer isnt clear about basic hardware functionality, this work is totally not a copy paste work, its more like dismantling the entire ISS without schematics then assemble it again but in reverse and under the sea...everything without charging a dime for it...libreelec works AFAIK because libreelec not being a full linux distro they often hack pieces and bits of the manufacturer driver and also they dont care about the latest kernel usually so they stay a few kernel versions back to make it work...(they dont care about the latest kernel because libreelec is not critical about security, you care a lot less if your kodi box gets hacked then if your NAS gets hacked as example)

So...calling people lazy when doing a lot of work for free while having lifes and working on a real paying job is widelly unfair...
