Hello Fedorans. I suppose this changes things, right? But how?

As far as I know this would still not be acceptable in Fedora due to the "No
external kernel modules" rule, right?

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/what-can-be-packaged/#_no_external_kernel_modules



Christian Schaller has posted an article on that:

https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2022/05/11/why-is-the-open-source-driver-release-from-nvidia-so-important-for-linux/

As I understood it, there is still a lot of work to be done for this driver to be usable in generic use cases.

This step is a huge thing for NVIDIA and the industry, but it is just a first step. And it seems that the most immediate impact we will see is the changes and improvements in the noveau driver.
