He also went on to call on NVIDIA engineers to contribute to the open-source Nouveau driver, which is rather useless for their modern GPUs due to the lack of re-clocking support and obstacles around signed firmware images. But that *really* hides that we don't have to do that for the others." And that the finite time available to open-source developers could be better spent working on Intel and AMD graphics. Miller also went on to note " We could make a special thing which detects Nvidia hardware and does kid-glove special handling to hide Nvidia's lack of support. He acknowledges Fedora / Red Hat and others have done "a whole bunch of extra bending-over backwards" to improve the NVIDIA proprietary driver Linux experience, but it's less than desirable. While Intel and AMD back open-source drivers and contribute heavily to upstream Linux components, NVIDIA is the odd man out.
