    I suggest you actually read the documentation about the things you link. As explained, the “open” Nvidia drivers are actually a tiny open component around a proprietary closed blob that actually drives the GPU.

      No doubt, but where does the documentation explain that? It’s not totally surprising that the firmware would remain closed source for now.

      Regardless of the fact that firmware and userspace components are still closed source, this is still an improvement for the Nvidia + Linux relationship.
