Open Source NVIDIA Drivers Are Finally Good
If you told me that there was soon coming a time where open source NVIDIA would have good open source gaming drivers I wouldn't believe you but a lot of work...YouTube

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •I'm definitely someone who will benefit from this, as someone using an nvidia gpu.
In the future I can imagine people alternating which drivers they using depending on the game. Projects like supergfxctl could be helpful in such a use case. Already today most game launchers have a lot of tweaks you can do on a per game basis.

Unless #nvidia literally #FLOSS'd everything like #LAPSUS demanded in 2021 that's not gonna happen...

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •@fuchsiii OFC not - and not because they don't want to [tho I'd also nope ransomware groups' demands] but also because #nvidia can't legally do that in many cases, as they too are #licensees of #patents and are bound to #NDA's.
So #GPLv3 and #AGPLv3 are impossible to comply with and even #GPLv2 would be hard to.
Kinda like the shitshow #BusyBox did (gojng GPLv3 and sueing the crap out of license violators), so @landley left that project and started #toybox from the ground up.

in reply to Brodie Robertson • • •Sadly my GTX 1060 won't benefit from this. Hopefully nouveau gets better which makes the 1060 more usable. I will still use proprietary drivers then.
The problem I have with nouveau drivers is that it does not support 2 monitors with my GPU. No way I am going to buy a new GPU.
