Hello,
Did anyone try to install the new NVIDIA open-source driver? I’m currently trying to do a build on my machine.
url for repo: GitHub - NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules: NVIDIA Linux open GPU kernel module source

Are these the “official drivers”? That is, are these what Nvidia puts into their commercial hardware?

Hopefully, it is.

yes, newer GPU (since GTX 1650 AFAIK) support a newer open source driver, although it may not be as mature as the proprietary driver.

There is an rpmfusion package: Howto/NVIDIA - RPM Fusion
It is pretty confusing though. Only kernel driver is open source, it still requires proprietary user space driver. Thus, you install it from a nonfree repository. In addition to that, akmods-nvidia uses pre-built driver, for it to be built from source you must install different package from the tainted repository.
Is there no truly open-source option for nvidia? Please share your knowledge.

Use integrated graphics instead.

I didn’t even know one existed.
Obviously, Linus giving them the finger finally worked?
