This is great news! Kudos to NVIDIA though this firmware is long long overdue.
To NVIDIA employees: don't mind the comments here: vapid haters gonna hate. The Linux community for some reasons has the highest concentration of haters among any other community I've dealt with.

Fuck you Nvidia, we'll continue to buy AMD!

Not a lot but then very old GPUs don't even need firmware.
Sadly this release doesn't cover the Pascal and Turing video cards and these two gens remain extremely popular - 13 cards out of the top 20.Last edited by birdie; 11 April 2022, 11:46 AM.

Tons of people on Phoronix and other Linux forums love throwing "Linux on servers! Linux on Android!" Who the f cares if we want to use it as a desktop OS?
Corporate customers couldn't care less about the open-sourceness of GPU drivers. Corporate customers don't dabble with new shiny Linux kernel releases. Some Hollywood/3D content studios (corporate customers indeed) do use Linux for applications such as Maya/Blender/etc., but they normally run LTS Linux distros, either RHEL and its derivates or Ubuntu LTS - again, they couldn't care less about Wayland, games, etc. etc. etc.
