So running games in Linux using my 3080 is going to work better now?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

At first, it will be more stable but less performant. Performance will come with time.

I think it's more like small bugs in the kernel portion will be fixed faster. There are a lot of small patches needed to build the dkms module against the kernel as mainline and stable evolve - they're often carried in various distro packages until upstream (Nvidia) picks them up for a future release. The open driver should speed that cycle along.

😁 ok thanks. I get the speeding the cycle up bit! Makes sense that it'll be easier to fix bugs if the code is open.

Bath and Body Works is no different than other department stores and fast fashion retailers. They routinely throw away their products for reasons such as they do not perform well in the store or other undefined reasons. Although I can understand that the stock has to be moved, there are less wasteful ways. https://www.bathandbodyworksgiftcardbalance.com/ https://www.victoriassecretgiftcardbalance.com/ https://sites.google.com/view/starbucksgiftcardbalanceee/ https://sites.google.com/view/ultagiftcardbalancee/ https://oldnavygiftcard.com/

The prediction that we will have decent open source NVIDIA drivers this year.

The prediction that NVIDIA's open GPU Linux kernel driver would be the default for Turing and newer GPUs, I assume.

Wasn't Nvidia always notoriously bad with their driver support on Linux?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Yes. Some people will come out and say that no they used to be good, but it's not really true, they've always been iffy.

It's just that ATI's used to be even worse until AMD bought them up and moved Radeon to a much more FOSS-friendly company.

For 20+ years now, yes.
