Open-Source Nvidia Driver Moving to NVK and Zink for OpenGL on Newer GPUs (phoronix.com)

For those confused about the vocabulary:

Zink: Provides OpenGL support for devices that only support Vulkan.

NVK: Newer open source Vulkan driver for Nvidia hardware. Different than the older existing nouveau driver which was largely developed with very very little Nvidia support.


Thanks! Very helpful for the uninitiated like myself.
