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.

Yeah I'm waiting for the RedHat's Nova too to see it in action. This GSP doesn't seem that bad tbh and I don't think it's the source of our headaches. But it looks like the future is bright for Nvidia driver Linux stack.
So NVK is succesor of Noveau while Nova being a new open source driver?
Nova is still in the very early stages of development, though I think they've laid down a lot of the groundwork now? They recently got the driver to do one part of the GPU initalization process, so work on the driver proper has started.
In the strictest sense, NVK is not a replacement for Nouveau's OpenGL driver, but Zink on NVK is, as NVK is exclusively a Vulkan driver and Nouveau has no support for Vulkan.
