Ben Skeggs at Red Hat has long been the primary Nouveau DRM kernel driver maintainer for keeping this open-source NVIDIA GPU kernel driver within the mainline kernel going… Throughout all the battles, particularly after the GTX 900 series and later has required signed firmware images for enabling any accelerated GPU support, he’s now resigning from maintaining the driver. Ben Skeggs has contributed to the Nouveau project for more than one dedace – he’s earned references on Phoronix since 2008.
Why NVidia?! Why do you force me to stay on Windows?! WHYYYYYYY?!
That’s what went through my head yesterday as OneDrive threw the towel (again) and borked the whole Windows Explorer (again) so any attempt to access my own files would just freeze the Explorer-Window (again) because OneDrive tried to frantically download a folder that was deleted both locally and online (again) and OneDrive got confused (again)
This is just the open source NVidia driver… there are also official ones.
That also suck. I especially need the RTX and Tensor pipelines for my 3D rendering hobby…
On my work laptop, OneDrive did randomly decide to zero out all files. Even the ones in the web interface. Even the old versions, so restoring those affected files by using older versions wasn’t working. I had to rollback my whole OneDrive to a point about 2 weeks earlier and lost everything in between… Fuck OneDrive.
But, did you choose nVidia?
No :(
The (amateur) software I’m using for my hobby (DAZ 3D) almost exclusively uses NVidia Iray. Besides, since it’s a ray tracing renderer, I need ray tracing performance, a discipline AMD sucked big time when I bought my 3070.
SOUNDS LIKE IT’S TIME TO STOP PUTTING OFF LEARNING BLENDER
Woah there, stop yelling! I’m not going to do that because my first child is going to be born in a month or so and going into the packed monster that is blender is just not feasible time-wise anymore ;)
Bad situation :(
Yep.,. I am so done with the dumpster fire Microsoft calls “Q&A”…
Are you on Windows 11 by chance?
Yes. Has worked perfectly in the beginning but started to fall apart when they started to fiddle with windows explorer…
