Don't feel obligated to answer if you shouldn't, but how seriously is Nvidia taking Linux nowadays? With the rise of ML is linux being seen as an important support target?
NVIDIA's business these days is dominated by datacenter products that are almost exclusively used with Linux. This has had almost no effect on their approach toward dealing with/integrating with Linux. They did follow in AMD's footsteps and adopted a driver model with an open-source kernel component and closed-source userspace components.
