These drivers are listed as “alpha quality”, and they’re not technically the full open driver, but how are they compared to Nouveau or the usual closed driver?
How’s the stability and performance?
I don’t know anything about these myself really, but Greg Kroah-Hartman did an interview a few months ago where he was asked about the then recent nvidia open source effort and he commented that they are still nvidia, that the drivers are only for AI toolchains and that they were not some shift in nvidia’s marketing stratagy, the effort is being forced upon them by large commercial customers. He expects no change in their nonchalant abuse of consumers, and that he avoids such companies.
Shitvidia will always be shitvidia with a number one rating from Torvalds and the majority of the Linux community. Proprietary hardware is theft of ownership and criminal exploitation.
