AlmaLinux OS 9 and 10 - Now with Native Support for NVIDIA
At long last, users of NVIDIA graphics cards can enjoy a drastically improved user experience with AlmaLinux. When AlmaLinux started just 5 years ago, this wouldn’t have been possible. However, with NVIDIA releasing an open source version of their graphics drivers, things changed. This open source version is slowly becoming the flagship driver, with new products being added exclusively to it. AlmaLinux’s NVIDIA support - including Secure Boot AlmaLinux OS 9 and 10 now ship packages enabling native NVIDIA Open GPU driver support - with Secure Boot. Thanks to ALESCo, the NVIDIA Open GPU Kernel module, and this approved RFC, AlmaLinux 9 and 10 solve many pain points of NVIDIA users by shipping NVIDIA’s open source graphics driver as a kernel module, along with a repository config for many of the common userspace and CUDA components. With AlmaLinux 9 and 10 and the new NVIDIA packages, a few dnf commands are all that stand between users and a fully-integrated NVIDIA experience.
