How much machine learning/neural networks happens on Linux compared to Windows? Assuming that's the majority, it should put Linux is a much better negotiating position compared to the time when the driver only benefited the small number of Linux gamers. So it's probably the right time to push Nvidia into a better architecture where the kernel driver is GPL and the closed source stuff is in a userspace component.
