      It says “ready by the end of 2024” so not quite there yet. Still, a very good development for sure.

      A step toward having an nvidia driver that comes with your open source Linux distro

        I meant, how is it different than what I had before? What is vulkan 1.0?

          Some computer games and other graphics intensive apps are using vulkan, and they will now work with an nvidia card without needing to go get nvidias proprietary driver, which is often buggy due to not being properly tested with your desktop and system in general.

    I have been reading news about NVK release 1.0

    Only this time I see NVK mentioned as open source Nvidia driver.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
