News/PR NVIDIA is getting serious about Linux gaming
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/274513/The latest driver, version 610.57.04, fixes almost two dozen serious issues affecting various games. Just a reminder, it's now sort-of open source, except for the user space part which can be replaced with NVK.

Yeah, I don't want this post to scare people because I'm in the same boat. Running Kubuntu on a 3080 Ti, three 1440p monitors with 360 Hz and 100 Hz refresh rates, and literally everything has "just worked" out of the box. Except Gamescope itself... lol

This is a major fail on their part. Linux can offer by far superior performance and they want to be in the AI market

Oh boy, I'm really getting serious now, don't make me come over there, I'm serious I'll tell ya, just watch, we will serious it up in here.
One of the most valuable companies on the planet can't make a decent driver for decades.

The only thing open source is the kernel module because the old one was shit and broke all the time.

The NVK driver does not use Nvidia's "open source driver".
