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.

What I think the 'make it or break it' will be for folks is if we see NVENC, DLSS, CUDA support for NVK. The only way I see people who need Nvidia specific features ditching the proprietary drivers is if Nvidia releases proprietary blobs for them. But as for me, I'm ditching the proprietary drivers as soon as NVK performs within 80% of the proprietary drivers.
NVK FTW!!
Unfortunately I need CUDA. I hope either ZLUDA and/or actual CUDA works on NVK in the near future. Better yet AMD could release something that can compete with CUDA but that seems highly improbable.
This is my hope as well. I do think that at least an attempt at CUDA support for NVK is planned, but if it is, it's likely still a ways out. But who knows! They've been progressing so fast, it might come sooner than we think! (Assuming CUDA is even on the roadmap.)
Unfortunately AMD's focus doesn't seem to be on Ray Tracing/AI or a CUDA alternative at the moment. But this would definitely be a welcomed feature.
