Nouveau began more than a half-decade ago; I first wrote about the project in 2006 and it wasn&#8217;t until 2007 that OpenGL began to sort of work on this free software driver that was started by Stephane Marchesin (he&#8217;s no longer directly involved with Nouveau as for a while now he&#8217;s been off working for Google on Chrome OS). Nouveau&#8217;s journey has been quite interesting and in the past six years has earned itself 450 news posts where I have written about this open-source NVIDIA driver and over 60 featured articles that have included benchmarks or more extensive information on this Linux driver.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=nouveau_linux_stable&amp;num=1\">[Phoronix] Open-Source NVIDIA Driver Approaches Stable State<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nouveau driver has had a long and challenging journey to get where&#8217;s it at today where the developers are now comfortable with the Nouveau driver leaving the Linux kernel&#8217;s staging area and thus also fully committing to a stable &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/?p=3774\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[217,526],"class_list":["post-3774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pc-issues","tag-kernel","tag-nvidia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3774"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3775,"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3774\/revisions\/3775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bucktownbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
