From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would assume effort is just being put into NVK instead now

Isn't nvk supposed to be a part of what nouveau provides like how RADV provides vulkan functionality for the AMDGPU driver.

Yeah, NVK is their Vulcan driver. The rest of the user space Nouveau handles OpenGL (though they might just is Zink in the future, which translates OpenGL calls to Vulcan).
