alt Hacker News> Modern GPU drivers are a nightmare for open source.
Modern NVIDIA drviers. Let me fix that for you.
Intel and AMD has their full stack in mainline already, and AMD made great effort to enable their cards fully under open source drivers, as their agreements and law allows. You can even use HDCP without exposing sensitive parts, if you want.
Intel also works completely fine.
However, NVIDIA's shenanigans and HDMI forum's v2.1 protectionism is something else completely.

Modern NVIDIA drivers for their more recent cards are actually okay, again.

Honestly back when I was still in college one and a half decade ago, it was quite clear the whole Nvidia-only ML and AI libraries weren't a good idea
AMD cards need propietary firmware.
