      i personally prefer Autistici/Inventati or disroot, proton is ok in terms of privacy but i dont think their services are that good in quality, their cloud storage and other services dont even support webdav
      imo if you need email ur better off with a standalone service, and if you want a full, easy ecosystem i recommend disroot (they have nextcloud and other fully foss services)
      it should also be mentioned that the backend to all the proton services are not open source, they have fully proprietary backends and no nextcloud or anything open source, only the client apps are foss.
      Disroot only uses foss services so their backends are open source and self-hostable.

      @@wikwayer Yeah I hope we get some better support for stuff older than 20 series as well so people with maxwell and turing cards aren't screwed when nvidia drops support in the proprietary drivers for them. With the open source drivers you can only change power states manually on maxwell and older (or not at all on pascal..), and NVK is also not officially supported on pre-turing.
      If you are runnin an older AMD GPU or older intel iGPU things work pretty well out of the box on linux, even older ones that don't have full vulkan 1.3 support but the same is not the case with nvidia. I feel people are sometimes assuming everyone is sitting around with the latest and greatest hardware and underestimating how many people especially outside the west are still using older hardware.

    From what I have read, all the things that make NVIDIA a must-have, namely CUDA and the hardware-accelerated decode, encode, and video filtering functions, are part of the closed-source user-space driver.
    If you recall, a couple of years ago, some "hacktivist" group managed to steal some of NVIDIA's code and threatened to release it all publicly if NVIDIA didn't open-source its drivers.
    In response, NVIDIA released the kernel mode driver as open source, and now, during installation, it will default to that one.

    3:30 We will probably see Nvidia proprietary userspace drivers run on Nova instead. There's not much point in running NVK on top of the (out of tree) nvidia-open kernel modules, but it would make a ton of sense for CUDA and friends to run on any Linux distribution without re-configuring the OS.

    They aren't going open source. As of Turing and newer most of nonfree driver is moved into firmware on gpu. The open sourced part is a kernel wrapper layer that talks to the gpu blob and as such isn't a driver. This is old news.
    The driver, pardon the pun, was for enterprise distros like IBM-Redhat to be able to ship ready to run datacenter OS because both Intel and AMD have entered the datacenter gpu market and both have and had free drivers.
    The datacenter part of the market is why nvidia did this. The gpu wrapper for that segment was released over a year ago but was not in main kernel for a long time. The consumer wrapper apparently was much harder to implement and was maybe one year late. More bits to get working than the machine learning parts.
    The original nvidia github post and discussion covered all this but I stopped following it once it became clear we are talking about a wrapper layer not a driver.
    The real tell was when nvidia hired the main nouveau dev then a huge patchset was released a few weeks ago on mainly the drm layer.
    Nouveau grows more important because maxwell and pascal support, or any older generation off gpu, will never be in wrapper since they don't have driver firmware blobs.
    Yes this has side effect of helping turing and newer consumer gpu owners have more seamless experiences but by no stretch of imagination has nvidia open sourced their drivers.
    Has this been accepted into kernel mainline now? Lots of pressure from corporate linux vendors to get this into kernel so that was never in doubt.
    The real good news was nvidia hiring the nouveau dev and clearly giving him hardware specs required to make that actual real driver work reliably. Which it never could before because it was all reverse engineered outside of an occasional patch quietly provided by nvidia.
    Getting open source consumer gpu wrapper releasable was apparently much more difficult than expected. I was expecting it to drop a year ago and for nvidia to switch their non free driver to legacy status. But didn't happen
    Anyway this is about datacenter gpu market not the maybe 0.5% consumer linux desktop marketshare.

    The DHCP issue can be easily mitigated if you have a managed or semi-managed switch with DHCP security, configuring a single port on the switch as the only authorised port for a DHCP server. And if you're dumb enough to have your gateway/router on a default password, allowing the DHCP server to be reconfigured, you have bigger problems anyway. As for rogue DHCP servers on public Wifi. Most franchises that run free WiFi do not allow client to client communication, which completely eliminates this threat.
