So, karolherbst , any comments? :'D

I would much rather Nvidia prioritize proper EGL support, but, this is a good start anyway.

There is a beautiful image that expresses my thoughts .... Linus T. vs Nvidia.

So, may be Nvidia wants to stop using the blob for the kernel driver an finally work with upstream? Given their history, it's unlikely, but who knows. May be growing pressure from AMD is affecting them.

And pigs will fly. No I doubt that Nvidia will change their ways.

I don't expect that either, until they'll lose market share a lot.

Why invest in closed source NVidia, when AMD ROCm look promising in near future.

They are investing in open source stack, not in the blob if I understood correctly.
