I may have missed it in the article, but this post would mean absolutely nothing to me except for the fact that last week I got into stable diffusion so I'm crushing my 4090 with pytorch and deepspeed, etc and dealing with a lot of nvidia ctk/sdk stuff. Well, I'm actually trying to do this in windows w/ wsl2 and deepmind/torch/etc in containers and it's completely broken so not crushing currently.

I guess awhile ago it was found that Nvidia was bypassing the kernels GPL license driver check and I read that kernel 6.6 was going to lock that driver out if they didn't fix it, and from what I've read there was no reply or anything done by nvidia yet. Which I think I probably just can't find.

Am I wrong about that part?

We're on kernel 6.7.4 now and I'm still using the same drivers. Did it get pushed back, did nvidia fix it?

Also, while trying to find answers myself I came across this 21 year old post which is pretty funny and very apt for the topic https://linux-kernel.vger.kernel.narkive.com/eVHsVP1e/why-is...

I'm seeing conflicting info all over the place so I'm not really sure what the status of this GPL nvidia driver block thing is.

Just run that stuff in Linux, you're making it harder than it needs to be. Can it work in Windows? Sure. Is there as much documentation? Not even close.
