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.

Great news for nvidia users.

Not sure if this affects my Pascal card at all (probably not as it's specifically not mentioned). I barely use the dedicated GPU anyway.

I was wondering the same about my Kepler card.

Let me know how it works out if you test it. I'm not particularly confident testing it myself because my system already has issues.
