You might want to check if pigs can fly. NVIDIA announces today the first release of open source GPU kernel modules. The announcement can be found on the NVIDIA Technical Blog. People like Kevin Martin, the manager for Red Hat's GPU technologies team, Ben Skeggs the maintainer of Nouveau and Dave Airlie, the upstream kernel maintainer for the graphics subsystem, Nouveau contributor Karol Herbst and accelerator lead Tom Rix have all taken part in meetings, code reviews and discussions on how to make this happen with NVIDIA over the last Month.

Christian F.K. Schaller put together an excellent opinion on this work and what the practical impact to Linux users will be (spoiler alert: it might still be a long time before you see NVIDIA drivers in your next Linux kernel update). But this opens an exciting new opportunity for GPUs on Linux.

A Change Proposal for Fedora Linux 37 was submitted today that proposes to retire OpenSSL 1.1 and help any important software packages move to the newer OpenSSL 3.0 architecture (which was already added in Fedora Linux 36).
