This will be excellent if each BSD operating system can build and compile their own nVidia drivers from source.

Kernel modules aren’t the same as drivers. They’re an interface for drivers.

They service the same purpose as a driver, and FreeBSD has user added kernel modules, I forget if OpenBSD does but I’m hoping so.

I think this is mostly just practical. Tainted kernels are more problematic for a variety of reasons these days (thinking about things like TPMs), so moving that stuff out of the kernel lets NVIDIA keep their proprietary drivers without sacrificing certain use cases.

I’m more interested in seeing NVIDIA hardware usable with mesa, which would be a much longer term project.

What am I supposed to do with my picture of Linus flipping the bird?

Use it as a stable diffusion img-to-img template, and outpaint it so he’s riding a duck in a pond.

Based on this article and the linked one it looks like the ex Nouveau maintainer Ben Skeggs (single-handedly?) fixes Nvidia Linux support?! A truly heroic deed of true.
