Nvidia's kernel module is open source these days, it's the usermode stack that's still closed.

Even though the kernel module is open-source (sort of, development still happens behind closed doors), it's still an out-of-tree module, rather than being built into the kernel, which would give you as smooth an experience as with AMD or Intel, who's GPUs literally do just work on any distro with no fuss.

Can't wait for someone to point an LLM at that and "open it up" ;-)
