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.

It says "nouveau" on uevent but that's all I guess. AMD driver is also open source, how does that work for it? Nvidia recently opened the kernel parts of the driver, it's possible that my system haven't got those parts yet. Maybe there is still time for NVK. All I can say is, Wayland experience is better with NVK comparing to proprietary driver.

AMD drivers expose API thru sysfs and system monitors just parse that. Seems like nouveau does not expose anything like that. You can still put a thumbsup on nvtop issue about nouveau support.
