Such a huge step to finally ridding ourselves of that garbage proprietary driver stack. There’s still so much work to do but hats off to the team!
In the end, is there any use case for Nouveau? Assuming you’re running a GUI?
Or is it for all those people that are just running a text interface on top of their GPU?
Plenty.
For older cards that do have reclocking, it works exceptionally well, including for gaming.
For many newer cards, even though it won’t reclock it will get you into a desktop, and even give you a good accelerated wayland experience.
Moving forward, once the new open source nvidia kernel driver and nouveau bits land, and the driver matures it will probably be the best nvidia driver on linux.
It will give you an image, even if not accelerated. It’s important to have a FOSS driver that works with your proprietary card at all times and gives you a basic desktop — and for some people that’s all they need.
It’s also likely this userspace driver will one day work with Nvidias new open kernel module.
