The lack of a stable ABI makes the development of nouveau and nvk even much harder than it is already. Based on this you can pretty much forget about a viable open source alternative for nvidia gpus. What works today can break tomorrow easily, once nvidia changes just a bit in their blob. I was really hoping for better open source drivers similar to what we have with radv and anv, as Nvidia’s linux driver often performs worse than their windows driver. This is quite a bummer.
