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?
Thanks for such a detailed explanations. That's what I meant, I would love to avoid official drivers headache that causes you to avoid recommend Nvidia. Still there are some things that you cannot avoid it. Things I have in mind are better than AMD / Intel GPU with Mesa:
Blender
ML / AI / CUDA and so on
DaVinci Resolve (and other creative stuff like Blender above)
RayTracing
DLSS (FSR is catching up but this is #1)
I would love the Nvidia support just to be stable.
for the encoding and decoding I would choose Intel.
For gaming AMD as I'm currently right now with Bazzite.
I recommend also something similar in terms of time: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.razeeman.util.simpletimetracker/
