The Maintainer Of The NVIDIA Open-Source "Nouveau" Linux Kernel Driver Resigns

Ben Skeggs at Red Hat has long been the primary Nouveau DRM kernel driver maintainer for keeping this open-source NVIDIA GPU kernel driver within the mainline kernel going... Throughout all the battles, particularly after the GTX 900 series and later has required signed firmware images for enabling any accelerated GPU support, he's now resigning from maintaining the driver. Ben Skeggs has contributed to the Nouveau project for more than one dedace -- he's earned references on Phoronix since 2008.

That also suck. I especially need the RTX and Tensor pipelines for my 3D rendering hobby...

I think sadly you’d either way get much better performance with proprietary drivers especially if the focus is generative AI.
