While all is 'calm and steady and boring' with the next kernel, Linux creator Torvalds tells an Open Source Summit crowd exactly how he feels about almost everything else.
That’s not to say the two men don’t think AI will be helpful in the future. Indeed, Torvalds noted one good side effect already: “NVIDIA has gotten better at talking to Linux kernel developers and working with Linux memory management,” because of its need for Linux to run AI’s large language models (LLMs) efficiently.
so THATS why we are getting better nvidia support.

You didn’t know GPUs are used for training/running DNN?

am i disappointed? yeah, a little.
Hahaha. I love it. Fuck closed source hardware gatekeepers.
Nice to see them groveling for performance.
Kneel!!
C’mon, I can joke. Such a cathartic paragraph to read. Intractable cunts.
