A while ago, among other issues, I mentioned my concern regarding Nvidia and Linux development in this thread.
And, though it's too old by now, I think I found one of the sources that lead to my doubts. Relevant part begins on minute 48:10.
But then, while searching some more, I found that Nvidia seemingly is changing a bit its posture and has released the new Tegra K1 drivers for open source, something even Torvalds himself has praised now.
In the other thread I noticed opinions being either neutral or opposite in general. Someone said new Nouveau driver was indeed working very good with a GT630; mr Wolfi even said that Nvidia had announced that they'd finally support Nouveau driver development. However I couldn't find any news regarding this fact...
Could this be the reason of Nouveau being working "well" with GT630?
Regarding Tegra, good for it. Mobile users may have reason to have hope. But what about PC/laptop users? Have there been some positive development for Linux in the last months or last year?
Thanks beforehand.
