    Yeah I’m waiting for the RedHat’s Nova too to see it in action. This GSP doesn’t seem that bad tbh and I don’t think it’s the source of our headaches. But it looks like the future is bright for Nvidia driver Linux stack.

    So NVK is succesor of Noveau while Nova being a new open source driver?

      Nova is still in the very early stages of development, though I think they’ve laid down a lot of the groundwork now? They recently got the driver to do one part of the GPU initalization process, so work on the driver proper has started.

      In the strictest sense, NVK is not a replacement for Nouveau’s OpenGL driver, but Zink on NVK is, as NVK is exclusively a Vulkan driver and Nouveau has no support for Vulkan.
