I wonder if nvidia will ever integrate into the kernel properly. Using their drivers is such a poor user experience.

So Firefox, not using GBM but EGL, would not be able to make use of the proprietary driver and has to talk to DRM? Can two kernel modules even use the same card at the same time?

> Can two kernel modules even use the same card at the same time?

yes, I'm not sure how everything is divvied up. NVIDIA ships multiple kernel modules in their driver, and one of them is called ‘nvidia_drm’. So idk, maybe you have to use their DRM implementation or something

But what does this mean for applications that use Vulkan?

Probably nothing, similar for most applications using EGL it doesn't mean much.

But it does matter for developers of Wayland compositors. A lot.
