APIs and ABIs should be open. GPL taking a different stance here is not helping anyone.
The point is: if you want to include a GPL licensed header, your code must comply with its license. Your opinion on the GPL is an entirely different matter.

Nouveau has very close to 100% openGL and ES support. It has a deficit of out of specs extensions support though. Also no opensource nvidia vulkan implementation?? https://mesamatrix.net/
I guess nobody bothered to add vulkan support due to almost unusable performance without reclocking. Hopefully some work will get started with this news!
For those who didn't use Nvidia on linux in the old times: The driver was a proprietary binary. Since a kernel module requires interfacing with the kernel API, it could be considered a derivative work and a breach of the GPL license. So, Nvidia provided a small open source shim which interfaced between the kernel and the proprietary module. You had to compile that shim yourself with the right arcane command line inca…
> I used and recommended ATI and INTEL for most of the people I could for a long time because of this. Same here but recently I somehow got a 3700X and there's no integrated GPU so I had to look for a GPU. I like my PC not just quiet but nearly silent, so a GPU with a fan was a big no-no. I couldn't find any single GPU able to drive 3840x1600 without a fan... Except for a NVidia one. Of course the proprietary Linux d…
The actual name of the CPU should help you find one that would work in that regard, for example, see this link which explains the naming suffixes: https://www.androidauthority.com/amd-cpu-guide-1222438/
In particular:
X - Higher clocked desktop processor (what you got)
G - Has integrated AMD Radeon Vega Graphics (what you probably want)
GE - Has integrated AMD Radeon Vega Graphics but lower TDP (what you might want in niche use cases)
For the Zen 2 series that your 3700X belongs to, you might want to look at this table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Ryzen_processors#A...
From what i can tell, the closest option performance wise to Ryzen 7 3700X but with on board graphics would be Ryzen 7 4700G.
Ten bucks Linus will curse at them in the near future.
With this announcement, I'm now interested in trying out some Nvidia graphics cards on the Pi again. Nouveau had some issues, and the official drivers had no source available, so I couldn't hack them to work. With the source available... it could be possible! Of course, CUDA support may never happen there, at least not using open source code.
Thank you for the work you do, I'm going through your ssd on rpi4 today!
1) This is unambiguously Good News 2) This is not upstreamable in its current form (nvidia admit this in their press release) 3) In an ideal world, nouveau (the open source driver for nvidia hardware) would be able to target this kernel code. Right now though there's no commitment for any sort of stable userland ABI, and that makes that difficult (moving to a new driver version may break interfaces that nouveau uses)…
May this enables the possibility of compiling NVIDIA drivers for ARM-based PCs?
"Currently, the kernel modules can be built for x86_64 or aarch64."
Fucking finally.
