NVIDIA opensource GPU drivers

Post by netpipe »

this means we can ship game ready computers with video drivers that work fast. a jetson nano for instance, could sell steam decks with them preloaded with games.

Not all sunshine (seems lots of stuff hidden firmware and only the kernel parts open sourced, user space parts of drivers still closed and also it's only few newer cards), but good news nevertheless!
