Enable new Nouveau stack (Linux 6.8+, Mesa 24+ NVK) #169

Closed Conan-Kudo closed 6 months ago

Conan-Kudo commented 6 months ago

With Linux 6.8 and Mesa 24, it's now possible to remove the need for the NVIDIA proprietary driver for NVIDIA Turing and newer GPUs.

This is done by setting DRM_NOUVEAU_GSP_DEFAULT=y in the kernel package when you upgrade to 6.8 along with enabling the nouveau-experimental (or nouveau in Mesa 24.1) Vulkan drivers with the Zink driver for OpenGL in Mesa. You also need the latest linux-firmware which contains the NVIDIA GSP firmware.
