I agree with this, i.e. also start supporting nouveau and nvk, it would mean a more consistent support starting with g80 cards (point at which modesetting works fine). NVK is also progressing nicely. The performance is not on par with the official drivers but at least post maxwell it's no longer...

...Otherwise I would agree this is the way forward. In light of this, I'd recommend give up and go full in with nouveau until we're tier 1 for Nvidia. The blob from Nvidia is lacking cuda, lacks support for older hardware compared to nouveau and requires a shed load of patches and compromises...

Give up and perfect the shim until we're Tier 1 for them 🤷‍♀️ Wireless was important enough to do this.

It's been stated twice, and now a third time,

IDK, seems like they accepted that they were't going to use FreeBSD to solve the problem 😆 I think it's reasonable to expect that nvidia hardware work without having to fiddle with it, particularly if Linux does, and be annoyed that it doesn't.

...pointless makes me a and a and being accused of insults. Take my last advice: Seek help. You true issues are neiter with any OS, nor some NVIDIA drivers, or anything like it. It's something like a dissatisfaction you carry somewhere deep inside yourself. But this here is neither the place...

You need to ask Nvidia to release open-source drivers so FreeBSD can put it in the source tree. FreeBSD can hack around their blobs so much but its not perfect. This is essentially out of our hands. If you like BSD and want to keep with it, then check out NetBSD, they have Nouveau, the...

That's Windows forever. I use windows 11 since it is compatible to all GPU. Also, because to install FreeBSD in the PC involves hacking.

...made up your mind to use some turn-key Linux. OK. And also about other things, like never using AMD ever again. OK. I had the same with NVIDIA for over twenty years, now because finally I got my fingers burned with AMD I'm now running a NVIDIA card again and am happy with it. But OK. There is...

Ok, I'm writing this from a sway window manager on an Nvidia machine. It works but there is a message. "Proprietary GPU drivers are not supported by sway. Do not report issues". For tiled window managers, I've always preferred more dwm style, so not a big deal for me. Though for wayland, there's...

Not sure as what I'm currently using for testing Wayland (startup OK or not, though) is Wayfire, but it could be because EGL supports by NVIDIA were EGLStream based (using graphics/egl-wayland), which is NOT mainly supported by Wayland compositors. If this is the case, 560 series and later...

...is fine on FreeBSD. There's several NapoleonWils0n posts and youtube videos about it. I do know that at one point, it wasn't working well with Nvidia, but after some update or another it was fine. It's been fine on AMD as well. The sway window manager, an iw3 replacement, didn't work well...

Again, CUDA support depends on nVidia supplying it. FreeBSD can't do anything about that. You should get on nVidia's forum and complain about that. From what I read, Wayland works on FreeBSD--at least to some extent--but remember that Wayland is a Linux thing created for Linux originally. Even...

...the critical work that does not run on any ‘Nix platform. Apparently, this is CUDA. So far I’m perfectly happy with MX Linux XFCE with a non-nvidia GPU. I have not tried it with my 4060ti yet. I have great respect for FBSD (as a server) but it appears to have growing pains with CUDA and...

My understanding is that the FreeBSD ports are merely wrappers around nVidia supplied blobs, so nVidia blob supports some number of nVidia hardware and expects some standard interfaces on the OS side. What happens with AMD and Intel? Are they similar with 3rd party blobs, expected OS...

nVidia creates the drivers, not FreeBSD. But nVidia does supply drivers for FreeBSD. If they do not work, or require hacking, then that's not FreeBSD's fault. But if you enter the world of professional operating systems, you have to realize things won't always be easy; especially when you want...

then maybe you would be better served on windows? do you have a specific need for freebsd?

...and never going back. I am SO not interested in learning how to hack or tweak to get it going and being problem free. If the desktop OS cannot do a straight forward install of Nvidia without tinkering then screw that OS. nVidia is a major player and I demand it install and run without hacking.

That worked. Thank you very much to all for pitching in, as always I appreciate it alot. /grandpa

Yes , correct and this inturn prevents plasma/wayland from starting up as wayland depends on DRM.
