Somewhere, somebody’s having a meltdown because Rust is spreading more and more in the kernel.
Good to see that NVIDIA is writing opensource drivers (or starting to). I guess it’s too much to ask to support old graphics cards, with NVIDIA mostly caring about money and a linux driver being an incentive to choose NVIDIA over AMD for some.

Probably more than just one somebody, based on the drama in these last few week’s. 😜

It’s too bad that there’s still a proprietary binary layer that this driver will talk to. (I’m assuming right/wrong that it’s not open source, since it’s binary.)
Best to support AMD if you game on Linux. Really wish Intel would step up their GPU game.
I’ve bought two AMD GPUs in the last two years but I still have three Nvidia GPUs that I use. The cost of moving everything over to AMD is high so it just takes time to get rid of old hardware as a best case scenario.

Totally understand. I hang on to my current GPU for as long as I can before switching to a new one (fiveish years), especially these days.
Having said that, if your goal is to move to Linux for gaming, best to go with a whole AMD setup if possible. Also a distro that updates often but is not bleeding edge. (For me, Fedora/KDE.)

This is True. I spend most of my gaming time on Bazzite with a 7800xt Nitro+ GPU. Works great 10/10.
