It seems the modules bridge the kernel with the driver [1], so it is this part that is GPL/MIT, the driver itself is still a binary blob. AMD probably does the same? Correct me if I'm wrong.
[1] https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/tree/main/...
they are contributing to https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/pull/454 which is SteamOS session compositing window manager. so maybe in future Steam Deck will Nvidia tech.
The carl firmware at https://github.com/chunkeey/carl9170fw should put that argument to rest. That is Wifi firmware source code for the Wifi I currently use.
Easily changed likely means there's a physical knob somewhere that you could accidentially poke as a layperson.
Not that you get a three year CS education, figure out how your distribution packages dependencies, install the correct embedded toolchain (good luck), find out exactly which chip is in your device, fetch the proper firmware source code in the right version, build the thing, figure out how to flash the result onto the chip / read the Linux kernel sources to figure out the filename inside /lib/firmware. That's not easy.
Even if this entire process was packaged (it is--see <https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-linux-free>), it probably still doesn't count (or at least shouldn't count) as "easily" changed.
> And I understand NVIDIA is even worse re: GPU virtualization.
Nope, it’s much better on the nvidia side actually. The latest AMD GPU with a publicly accessible GIM driver is the AMD S7150, which was released in 2016. (https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/MxGPU-Virtualiza...)
> The good news is that I understand this support is actually good on the Intel side
Not anymore. GVT-g is gone on Ice Lake (Intel 10th generation mobile, 11th gen desktop) so that you can no longer do hardware vGPU on newer Intel parts at all.
Sad thing is that what you said used to be true.
Meanwhile NVIDIA GRID needs licensing fees but actually works, with high end GPU options being available.
