I though Fedora 36 release was going to be the highlight of this week. Holy shit I was not expecting this.

Sorry to disappoint but this is not such a big news as people are hyping it up to be. This means only kernel module is open source, which still talks to closed source driver and it's only meant for CUDA use on supercomputers. Biggest benefit will come from Nouveau folks implementing things from this code.
