What prediction?

The prediction that NVIDIA's open GPU Linux kernel driver would be the default for Turing and newer GPUs, I assume.

Wasn't Nvidia always notoriously bad with their driver support on Linux?

[–] mihnt@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 months ago

For 20+ years now, yes.

Yes. Some people will come out and say that no they used to be good, but it's not really true, they've always been iffy.

It's just that ATI's used to be even worse until AMD bought them up and moved Radeon to being much more FOSS-friendly.

The prediction that we will have decent open source NVIDIA drivers this year.
