Like, for real - as in, Debian would be happy to include it in their main repo? Or lip service? (Assuming you meant their graphics drivers)
- irusensei 2y agohttps://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-transitions-fully-towards-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/ https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-transitions-fully-t... Not upstreamed yet so I’m guessing it will take a while to reach Debian.
- switch007 2y agoWow. Exciting! Fingers crossed
- saghm 2y agoMy recollection is that when they first started doing this a couple of years ago, they did it by pushing as much as possible from the driver to the device firmware, which is still not open source. I assume that the open source driver is in Debians repos by now.
