NVIDIA is finally starting to play nicely with the community to help sort the driver mess out. Nouveau paired with NVK might actually be the future of NVIDIA graphics under Linux!
I still won’t buy one just because of this news - they have done lots, lots of shitty things in the past. GameWorks, PhysX, Geforce Partnership Program, etc. While AMD is not exactly a saint when it comes to open sourcing, they still commit far more than Nvidia to open standards.
For me it was Gamestream. I literally didn’t even check AMD because Gamestream was so important to me. My next graphics card will be the first ever not from Nvidia.
They’ve been dicks for two decades, just playing a bit nicee doesn’t really change anything. If they work properly with open source, and enable proper in kernel drivers for the next decade or so I might consider buying something nvidia.

Might make me consider buying an Nvidia card in the future if they can get a reasonably performing and reliable in-kernel driver.

Nvidia has burned their reputation… Will take years to regain trust.
They are responsible for almost all issues new people have with Linux.

You could just replace it with an open source implementation of the same protocol, check out Sunshine for the server and Moonlight for the client.
From what I read, Sunshine is far from Gamestream.
