Thanks for the level-headed coverage on the Nvidia stuff. Most things I see online are extremely entitled. I think if we are hostile to Nvidia's first major forey into open source, they won't be likely to go further. We should thank them, not dismiss the whole thing because they didn't open source the firmware.

Double Dipping today! The conversation on Tailscale makes me want to swap from zerotier over to this! Thank you for the valuable insights and information, open source forever!

The more and more I hear about this foray into putting the kernel stuff as open source, the more excited I get for the future of the Linux Desktop experience! Currently, i have to use a script to control my GPU cooling fans, so, maybe once this is complete, they will work flawlessly!
