I'd want better mainline support for it. Either full mainline kernel support or something akin to it from Nvidia. My Jetsons were stuck on Ubuntu 18.04 since early 2020, with the old 4.19 kernel. They only recently beta'd a 20.04-based build with Kernel 5.10. Full release is 2022Q4. Somewhat like their "18.04" upgrade - very, very late. Sure, I could backport, try to upgrade on my own, etc. Some people have done so. Results were varied.
IMO, Nvidia is comparing themselves to embedded vendors. For general compute, I'd like vendors to keep up with the Fedoras, sids, and Tumbleweeds of the world, at the very least. Not asking for arch, btw :)
Hopefully Nvidia's server ambitions with Grace will see them take on general compute.
