As of today, NVK is now a conformant Vulkan 1.3 implementation on Turing (RTX 2000 and GTX 1600 series), Ampere (RTX 3000 series), and Ada (RTX 4000 series) GPUs.

    Cool! I assume this this requires non-free binaries. Does anyone know specifics?

      NVK itself is not dependent on anything proprietary, but it’s practically required to enable NVIDIA’s GSP firmware blob if you want to see actual performance since it’s what enables re-clocking (older post by Collabora here which touches on it).

        Is the GSP firmware included in linux-firmware yet?

          IIRC, yes, it will come starting with Linux 6.8

            Slight correction, it’s available in Linux 6.7, and has to be enabled with the kernel parameter nouveau.config=NvGspRm=1. It may be enabled by default soon though (latest news I could find about that here).

      NVK is a new fully open source driver for Nvidia GPUs. Derived from documentation & official FOSS code drops from Nvidia, unlike the legacy Nouveau driver which was mostly the product of reverse engineering proprietary drivers.

      Looking at the AUR package, it doesn’t look like there’s any binary dependencies: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vulkan-nouveau-git?all_deps=1#pkgdeps

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.
