I will be interested to help and contribute if Slowroll claims that its kernel should support a selected group of close-sourced drivers (NVidia, AMDGPU Pro, VMWare), including adding testing, adding patches, etc. Of course, we can add a cadence that if a module blocks kernel upgrade for too long (say 2 weeks), we should drop it. I also feel that without this claim, Slowroll is much less attractive to me. Best, Xu -- Xu Zhao i@xuzhao.net On Wed, Sep 27, 2023, at 11:52 AM, Axel Braun wrote:

I am wondering if we can attract some users to Slowroll if it only releases snapshots whose kernel version is compatible with the NVidia GPU driver? At least I will be very interested to try it out on my Nvidia desktop.
I feel this could be one of the *real* benefits, to keep a working kernel until Nvidia wakes up and fixes their drivers for a newer kernel. This mainly up to the kernel maintainers to decide
Cheers
