        Well, the other thing Ben just posted before leaving is the initial support for GSP in nouveau (now continued by someone else in his team), which means we can finally start doing things like reclocking. With this and other cool stuff like nvk coming up, we finally have a way forward to have a good upstream experience.

        With the maintainer having added the ability to re-clock newer cards and the upcoming NVK driver, it may be a possibility in the future.

    So what does this mean? He was the main contributer. Is Nouveau the only open source driver Nvidia cards can use on Linux?

        So there’s quite a few errors here:

        • NVIDIA creating an open source driver (well, throwing code over the wall once in a while is still open source I guess) does not mean there’s an upstream driver. The kernel maintainers have already noted that it’s definitely not in any shape to be merged upstream (and would need close to a full rewrite)
        • “He’s resigning because he thinks the community should focus on that driver instead now” is completely false and I have no idea how you even got to that conclusion. Literally on the same day he posted this email, he also posted initial GSP support which specifically gives us a bright future in nouveau, as it means we can now do funky stuff like reclocking (and which will be further developed by some other people in his team at RH).

        33 people who upvoted this (as of writing) now have misinformation in their heads, which they’ll probably spread around the internet thanks to you.
