Nvidia recently started NVK for Turing and newer and even more recently it was made conformant going back to Maxwell, but that still doesn’t give me a lot of hope for everything between Maxwell 1 (so basically just the GTX 750/750Ti for desktop Maxwell 1 cards) and Turing after driver version 580.
Also, Nouveau works for Maxwell 1 and earlier but ymmv with that stack, and it’s still not like Mesa RADV and AMDGPU for Radeon cards going back to GCN1.
It’s fine right now still, but given it’s a centralized, corporate-run platform at the end of the day, I’m skeptical of its long-term prospects; what’s stopping the guys in charge of that platform from going turncoat and turning it fully into Twitter 2.0?
Mastodon by contrast of being an open, decentralized platform, has some immunity against the enshittification that will inevitably ruin any centralized platform.
