Ben Skeggs at Red Hat has long been the primary Nouveau DRM kernel driver maintainer for keeping this open-source NVIDIA GPU kernel driver within the mainline kernel going… Throughout all the battles, particularly after the GTX 900 series and later has required signed firmware images for enabling any accelerated GPU support, he’s now resigning from maintaining the driver. Ben Skeggs has contributed to the Nouveau project for more than one dedace – he’s earned references on Phoronix since 2008.

      No :(
      The (amateur) software I’m using for my hobby (DAZ 3D) almost exclusively uses NVidia Iray. Besides, since it’s a ray tracing renderer, I need ray tracing performance, a discipline AMD sucked big time when I bought my 3070.

      Because back in the day when ATI had the worst Linux drivers, you were supposed to go with Nvidia. Now the tables have turned.
