From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The open drivers ? You mean the ones without 3d acceleration support ?

That’s not the case for the newer open source drivers from nvidia. They’re only compatible with the last few generations of cards but they’re performant and the only feature they lack is CUDA to my knowledge. Not talking nouveau here

cuda works fine on 4070 right now, though iirc certain specific things dont run well and are a little funky in comparison. i think it was ollama? but llama.cpp seems to work fine, same with things like comfyui

No they have CUDA. The open driver from Nvidia just means the kernel module has an open source license. They are still the same proprietary pieces of shit that you know and love from a user space perspective.

Oh ok, that's pretty good then.
But I do hope we'll get an open cuda replacement soon and some sort of gpu partitionning/ vgpu capability

[–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Intel Arc Pro is the only GPU attainable to normal people that supports SR-IOV. in general using a couple cheap cards is more reasonable than one expensive card that handles all those functions.

🤷‍♀️ I don't know much about that, cyberpunk runs perfect on my 4070 idk what else you could want

Then you are surely running the proprietary nvidia drivers, not the open source "nouveau" nvidia drivers ?

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"nouveau" != "Nvidia open source drivers". Nouveau was community made by reverse engineering. Nvidia has released their own open source drivers now.

thanks, this explains my confusion, I recently lost half a weekend to this distinction !

[–] marcie@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

No it's definitely the open drivers
