@jade_ish the firmware is proprietary but I don’t think the source for that is even available so that’s irrelevant. I think the issue is that the userspace parts (the equivalent of mesa) are still proprietary. I hadn’t heard of the haiku port but from what I’ve just read about it it made nvk (which is free software and part of mesa, but only works with nouveau) work with the free-but-out-of-tree nvidia drivers (nvrm). Presumably that would be possible to do on linux too (and actually sounds interesting even if you’re using glibc (provided it works better than nouveau) since it avoids using any proprietary userspace software)
