From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Right now on Linux, it's only possible with Nvidia, right? I have an old 1060 on my server. (all-AMD on my Desktop).

I remember old Tesla and Firepro drivers had a jank, proprietary alternative to SR-IOV but didn't think any vendor (except Intel with i915's GVT-g) had an implementation for their consumer devices.

@warmaster @apt_install_coffee No it is also possible with Intel, it was in fact possible with Intel BEFORE nVidia.
