Faith Ekstrand announces
on the Collabora blog
that NVK, an open-source driver for NVIDIA GPUs, will be included in the
Mesa 23.3 release.

Merging into mesa/main is certainly a big milestone but NVK is
nowhere near finished. It will take a long time before we get the
bugs worked out and get a full feature set with reasonable
performance. What it does mean is that we’re pretty confident in
the core of the driver and that we have a good base to build on
going forward.

The necessary kernel support is planned for the 6.6 release; this
blog post from David Airlie describes the work being done on that side.
