From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How is nouveau doing for those older cards these days? Are they at least still usable as a display adapter?
Nouveau is dead, it's been replaced with Zink on NVK.
NVK doesn't support older cards though last time I checked. Pretty funny how I ended up with a stack of paperweights because NVidia dropped support and Nouveau/NVK can't get their shit together and instead of focusing on existing hardware they rather keep chasing the "latest and greatest".
I think NVK is only for newer cards though, right?
