> using Nvidia still requires you compile a kernel module and hope for the best There's nothing inherently wrong with having an out-of-tree kernel module; a lot of software has, including software that is open source but has an incompatible license. As far as I remember (I'm not on Nvidia anymore, but I've been for many years), the Nvidia module was one or two minor versions behind the latest release kernel, which is very reasonable support - for example, stable distros like Ubuntu LTS, or OpenZFS, are always a bit behind as well. I've actually changed filesystem because of this, but I certainly don't blame the OpenZFS devs.
