Only the kernel module is open source, and it's just a wrapper for closed source blobs.

In actuality the open source drivers just kill all support for the 10 series, and otherwise do nothing to fix Nvidia's utterly fucked up driver problems.

@quarterlife @sanpo About Nvidia's gpus being proprietary and shit... I'm on AMD because, well, there's no alternative. Still, I'm struggling with most FOSS AI being developed specifically for Nvidia. That's non-sense. Develop FOSS for non FOSS-hardware.
