Kim Tae-sung's Plea for Linux Inclusion of NK Display Drivers

Reading progress: To make sure you don’t accidentally read the same manifesto twice.

The image depicts a man in a suit working at a large, retro-style computer console, reminiscent of mid-to-late 20th-century technology. The console is filled with an array of blinking red lights, switches, and dials spanning the length of the wall. The man is focused and engaged, typing or adjusting controls. The room is dimly lit with an ambient glow from the electronic displays. Another person is faintly visible in the background, also interacting with the equipment. The atmosphere conveys a sense of vintage technological advancement.

Dear Mr. Torvalds,

I write to you from the depths of Pyongyang’s Super Computing Center, where our nation’s finest machines hum tirelessly in pursuit of progress. You may not have heard much about our graphics hardware—it is not exactly famous—but I assure you, it exists. And I, with boundless optimism and limited resources, have written drivers for it.

They are... functional. Mostly.

I am aware that the likelihood of them making it into the next Linux kernel is approximately equal to me being granted a tourist visa to Finland. But hope is a beautiful thing, and I believe in the spirit of open-source collaboration! Surely, there must be a place for the proud yet obscure creators of North Korean display adapters.

I have attached the driver code (compressed as .tar.gz, naturally). I cannot guarantee stability, but I can guarantee that it tries very hard. If, by some miracle, you find it in your heart to include it—or at least acknowledge its existence—it would mean the world to me. If not, I shall still continue my work, knowing that somewhere, in the vast halls of Linux development, my plea has been read.

With the greatest respect and a glimmer of hope,

Kim Tae-sung
Senior Operator, Pyongyang Super Computing Center
