Welcome to Linux about open-gpu-kernel-modules HOT 336 CLOSED

yayay
you won't regret this nvidia dudes. You will have hundreds, maybe thousands of potential contributors rather than being limited to a single team of devs

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

I'm so glad this is happening. Thank you for open sourcing this driver. This can be a true game changer for Linux Desktop in the future!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Thank you NVIDIA, very cool, sending loves and hugs <3333

the ransomware actually worked

Oh yes

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Truly a arch btw moment

Lets see if linus changes his mind aswell.

mfw nvidia actually open sourced their driver

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

the year of the linux desktop, now 20xx instead of 22xx.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Nvidia just made a great step towards dominating another market, a small one, but yet another market.
Those drivers should now (hopefully) receive great help from the community, i can't wait to see wayland working properly on any GPU.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Made my day😁 Things are headed in the right direction, for both Nvidia and Linux

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

literally everyone reading the source code

Jokes aside, I never thought I'd see the day. This is a massive landmark in the history of Linux support and hopefully some day we could see at least a subset of userland be FOSS so people can continue to support NVIDIA but still run free software. Thank you.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

is user-mode eventually coming?

what？the world coming to the end？？？

@locness3 "I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux."

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

AMD is simply better you guys just gotta accept it

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Congratulations!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

We need to do a party guys WELCOME TO LINUX NVIDIAAA!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

LET'S GOOOOOO

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Nothing is certain anymore

Finally! Thank you Nvidia.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

I was there

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

I hope they do something good, we will see btw i use gentoo

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

this is great!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

You just made my day Nvidia

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Somebody submits to AUR. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

very cool nvidia :)

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Yea, this is "opened source" but I'm perusing through the code now and a lot of it links back to binary blobs. Dissapointing.

Yeah, but a lot better than nothing. They may not actually be able to "just opensource" it all in one go anyway... Big step forward, but time will tell.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Good job Nvidia. Hope to see more open source contribution overtime.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

🎉 congratulations!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Truly a historical moment.
Thank you to everyone involved in this decision.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

We love you Nvidia!!!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

I hope this finally kill w*ndows.
(use arch btw)

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Well, here is an early christmas present. Thanks for all those involved in pushing and approving this!

I'm more concerned about my GTX 750 and GTX 970

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Yea, this is "opened source" but I'm perusing through the code now and a lot of it links back to binary blobs for OpenGL/Vulkan/CUDA. Disappointing.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

I have my doubts they'll open source the rest (aka some of the most important parts), given NVIDIA's history with this kinda stuff.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Can I be part of the mob of the comments? HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

I have my doubts they'll open source the rest, given NVIDIA's history with this kinda stuff.

Yep, I do agree... They definitely won't opensource CUDA or such (and I wouldn't really blame them), but seeing they did something at all is honestly more than I ever expected. We will see how it goes.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

This is great, legacy driver would be nice too 😉

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

made my day just wish it was on older GPUs as well good work

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

The hell froze only halfway, since Nvidia just put the closed source stuff into the firmware before open source the driver.
But at least they're halfway AMD now.

Btw I use arch.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Arch on raspberry pi, btw. Oh and pop!_os, very cool nvidia, very cool.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Lord, thank you for letting me live to see this magnificent, truly historical moment.

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Thank you Nvidia. We will change the world with deep learning thanks to you!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Just checking in for the historic event

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

wauw

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Poggers

That is all. Truly a historic occasion.

this repo issue tracker is going to be unusable for a bit lol

nah, everyone is being polite and using this specific issue.
it should be a topic.... but at least it's contained.

interesting

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Very cool move from Nvidia (i use Arch, btw) (I use an AMD card because they had an official FOSS driver before)

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

@pixelplanetdev

And you made #2 ... Interesting

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

nice using an old GTX 760, thats not supported in linux-mainline, so have to use linux-lts on my Arch Linux box
but with this news maybe i will buy an NVIDIA card and not an AMD one, as i been a loyal NVIDIA fan but my card is old and crusty and goes end of support for real in October 2023, so have to buy a new GPU this or next year

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

That was so unexpected... But honestly, can only say thanks NVIDIA on this one! With some luck the userspace (MESA) aspect will go opensource sometime as well :-)

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

YES! Finally!
Now throw the legacy one out there as well please

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Lets see if linus changes his mind aswell.

@BieHDC fat chance

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Thank you Nvidia for taking the step to open source this part, it is a pleasant surprise from you guys <3

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

nvidia open source 😳🥵😤

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

no way

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Well done and welcome!

Now we'll be looking for the user space driver to reach a passing grade, and firmware for a 100% mark in the course!

they are a multibillion dollar corporation

I'm not RMS. Though I do appreciate FOSS. I just used an abbreviation which is not disallowed.

Thank you NVIDIA!!! ❤️❤️❤️

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

They gave in, finally

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

Amazing. You're the best, NVIDIA!

from open-gpu-kernel-modules.

This is the one thing NVIDIA could have done to truly set themselves up for success in the future.
