Nitpick: The kernel modules are not the whole driver. There are substantial portions of it running in userspace, which will not be opened. (For AMD, those are open, too.) This does not “complete” the move away from proprietary drivers, at best it’s starting it.
The closed-source kernel modules are the parts causing most of the headaches and legal uncertainties when using Nvidia GPUs, though.
It’s a start. Maybe I’ll consider Nvidia for my next GPU. I’ve been buying AMD (and before that, ATI) because of their open-source support.
Maybe I’ll consider Nvidia for my next GPU.
I won’t. Not until things improve a lot more. I’m not in a hurry to forget their past behavior.
Well I’ll be damned. Hell must have frozen over.
