Nvidia will not be open sourcing their driver, so a result of this type of open source witch hunt is make the proprietary drivers worse.
You'll have to forgive me for not wanted the only functional driver of hardware in I very much rely on in a daily basis for both work and personal use, to lose functionality.
- TimeBearingDown 3y agoNVIDIA already ostensibly open-sourced their driver for GeForce RTX 20-series and newer. Yes, they shoved all the important bits in the firmware, but this still could make for a much more stable Linux module, if NVIDIA actually respects license/code boundaries.
- rany_ 3y agoIt is worth mentioning that their open-sourced driver is not the same codebase as their proprietary driver, it is inferior in performance for desktop/gaming users. So it is not really a complete alternative yet. Either way as you mention, the fact it's only GeForce RTX 20-series and newer is a dealbreaker for people with older cards as well.
