Is Nouveau still important now that Nvidia has opensourced their display drivers sometime ago?
- robert_foss 3y agoThey have no interest in upstreaming their open sourced kernel driver it would seem.
- fayalalebrun 3y agoOf course. First of all they did not open source any existing driver. They released an open source kernel driver, which is separate from their existing closed source kernel driver. They still have not released an open source userspace driver.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoI think that only works on new hardware, not old models? (Because new cards do more in proprietary firmware instead of a proprietary driver)
