Hours after posting a large patch series for enabling the Nouveau kernel driver to use NVIDIA's GSP for improving the support for RTX 20/30 series hardware and finally enabling accelerated graphics support on RTX 40 'Ada Lovelace' GPUs, the Red Hat maintainer has resigned from his duties.
How does Nouveau currently compare to official drivers? I'm sure it's not in much of a state for proper comparison yet, but I was unaware of this project and I'm just curious how far they have come.
I haven't had good experiences with it, but nor have I tried it for quite a while having switched to AMD.
My gut feeling is that it's going to be even tougher than it already was, assuming nvidia's continued lack of cooperation. With DLSS and other proprietary technologies becoming increasingly mandatory for nvidia card users, keeping up is going to one hell of a ride.
