Interesting - I'll check that out, but I have other reasons that I need to keep with the proprietary driver (a couple apps that don't work with the OSS driver).
I wonder what these would be. The openGPU kernel modules are supposed to be a full replacement of the proprietary ones (even same module names). Userspace drivers/libs haven't changed.
X-Plane 12 specifically calls for the proprietary driver on Linux - that's the main one. I'm guessing that it might work with the openGPU driver, but might not be supported. I also have played around with DaVinci Resolve a little bit and understand it has a similar requirement. Blender we already talked about from a compute perspective, and I suspect openGPU works fine for it (as it's OSS itself). I might give the open driver a shot just to see and determine what the reality is in terms of compatibility if I can find some time. Ultimately, because I don't use secure boot, these issues ultimately don't affect me, but it would still be good to know.
