    In the small chance that this comment is serious, Nvidia is found this because the corporate server-based customers need the ability to troubleshoot and debug the driver.

        Dude, the kernel is OSS. WTF are you on about? Ever heard of Zen+ or Xanmod? What’s keeping Nvidia from doing just that and have the Nvidia GPU owners just use their nodded kernel?
