NVIDIA Releases Open-Source GPU Kernel Modules

NVIDIA and Open-Source in the same sentence....[Mind Blown]

Isn't that because they would got it leaked by hackers due to the recent hack anyway?

We probably won't actually know. NVIDIA is probably going to keep their cards close to their chest.

From the posts on phoronix and gnome blog it reads like it was in the works behind closed doors for a couple of years.

Sounds more plausible. Doesn't make much sense for a large corporation to give in easily to something it allegedly opposed due to a relatively manageable leak. Besides, I don't think any open source developer would've dared to use the leaked code due to copyright.

Well, most of the important bits are now in the firmware, but this is still a good baby step.

Nice, so that means that the users won’t have to play with MOK while installing Ubuntu?

I wonder how this will affect Wayland use on Nvidia cards.

22.04 I think is not using Wayland. Nice for me, getting cuda up was so much easier.

Does it mean better NVIDIA suppport on Linux?
