I think it’s more like small bugs in the kernel portion will be fixed faster. There are a lot of small patches needed to build the dkms module against the kernel as mainline and stable evolve - they’re often carried in various distro packages until upstream (Nvidia) picks them up for a future release. The open driver should speed that cycle along.
So running games in Linux using my 3080 is going to work better now?

😁 ok thanks. I get the speeding the cycle up bit! Makes sense that it’ll be easier to fix bugs if the code is open.
At first, it will be more stable but less performant. Performance will come with time.
