It took how much, 20 years?) But nvidia seems finally switching to open source drivers! It sounds really nice. Cuda, LLMs, Video Rendering and much more now can become much more accessible.

BTW, do you remember the story, when nvidia driver were doing `rm -rf /usr`?

P.S. Thanks to @w96k for sharing this good news.

Video -
Does this means Nvidia GPUs for video can be better utilised on BSD/other operating systems because the interface to the drivers is now open?
GPU compute -
And am I right in thinking the cuda capability is still not open and therefore only works on officially supported operating systems?
