    The narrative around Nvidia seems to have done a complete 180 in the last year or two. I'm skeptical that it's as good as many are stating.

    Are these OSS drivers maintained by Nvidia? Or is it Nouveau?

    I know practically nothing about Nvidia's drivers, but I can see them doing a 180° flip, because they want to grab a chunk of that AI market.
    Even before LLMs, they were investing there, and now it's just completely settled that tons of AI-related hardware needs to be either a beefy a server machine or a low-profile edge PC. For both, Linux is very much preferrable.

    Nvidia pretty much always dominated the AI GPU market with their closed source driver and Cuda. Nothing has changed about that except for more competition in AI specific hardware which you can buy from several vendors now. But no one has ever used AMD cards with OpenCL for AI or ML. If you were serious about it, you always used Nvidia with Cuda or nowadays some dedicated AI accelerator card (DPUs).
