next week in AUR ![]()
well that’s some sign of good news for the linux desktop. In my point of view, this seems to indicate that nvidia might be taking linux more seriously at least a little more ![]()
In case you didn’t notice: The nVidia DGX Spark AI (developer) workstation is an 20 core Arm-based chip with additional Blackwell GPU cores on the same die, with 128GB ofunified memory. In short, they’re shipping that device with an customized OS, which is based on Ubuntu (including their proprietary stuff related to CUDA, nVidia ConnectX and such).
And for their larger AI GPU nodes in the datacenter, those are also running on some linux variant, for sure.
But I doubt that they will open the sources for the stuff which is related to Infiniband interconnect capabilities, as well as their GPGPU related implementations such as CUDA.
Yeah but this is really the end user desktop I’m talking about. Everything under Nvidia server stuff umbrella mostly run under linux to my knowledge. It’s just that the end user desktop for gaming seems to be getting more attention than what it was.
oh my god yes!
I haven’t used GeForce NOW in so long, but now that i am on linux (arch btw
) as my daily-driver i just might have to consider a subscription for it when it is working properly.
I think we can thank Valve for this, i am a strong believer that without the new steam machine or the steam deck(s) - nvidia would easily have ignored us linux users ![]()
