Somewhere, somebody's having a meltdown because Rust is spreading more and more in the kernel.
Good to see that NVIDIA is writing opensource drivers (or starting to). I guess it's too much to ask to support old graphics cards, with NVIDIA mostly caring about money and a linux driver being an incentive to choose NVIDIA over AMD for some.

Probably more than just one somebody, based on the drama in these last few week's. 😜

It's too bad that there's still a proprietary binary layer that this driver will talk to. (I'm assuming right/wrong that it's not open source, since it's binary.)
Best to support AMD if you game on Linux. Really wish Intel would step up their GPU game.

I must've missed that from in the post. Do you have more information on that?

Phoronix comments continue to be demented

Hmm I hope the chosen language doesn't cause performance issues.

Sounds promising

Does it?
I mean, the goal here should be transparent setup, full feature support across all applications and very quick updates to official driver parity. My bar for "promising" may be in a different place.
