I hope NVK can one time surpass the current nvidia driver, at least for the needs of a basic (possibly gaming oriented) linux user.
Nvidia simply does not care about that and it doesn’t seem like it will change anytime soon.Obligatory
That’s not as true as it’s been : they’ve published kernel modules as opensource. It’s clearly not perfect nor comparable to what AMD or Intel do/did, but it’s way better than when Linus raised that finger ;)
they’ve
published kernel modules as opensourcemoved everything to proprietary firmware blobs that used to be in drivers to make an “open source” version, unethically (and arguably illegally) used a GPL condom to avoid kernel taint, and in the enterprise space are jacking up prices and pushing “cloud” stuff just because they can.FTFY.
Let’s not pretend that NVIDIA are a pro-consumer company; they’re kind of dicks and their primary motivation is profit.
I’m just saying they’ve been bigger dicks before. Not that they’re not dicks anymore. If the metaphor still holds.
