The CentOS kernel modules "Kmods" special interest group (SIG) is now providing NVIDIA Linux Open GPU Kernel Modules for users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its downstreams as well as for CentOS Stream.
The CentOS Kmods SIG has begun providing kernel module builds for the open-source NVIDIA Linux Open GPU code that is the official NVIDIA Linux kernel drivers that are part of their driver package and maintained out-of-tree from the Linux kernel. The Kmos SIG is tracking NVIDIA’s latest feature branches and making them installable via the "kmod-nvidia-open" package name as well as of the production branches like R570 with "kmod-nvidia-open-570".

The CentOS kernel modules "Kmods" special interest group (SIG) is now providing NVIDIA Linux Open GPU Kernel Modules for users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its downstreams as well as for CentOS Stream.
The CentOS Kmods SIG has begun providing kernel module builds for the open-source NVIDIA Linux Open GPU code that is the official NVIDIA Linux kernel drivers that are part of their driver package and maintained out-of-tree from the Linux kernel. The Kmos SIG is tracking NVIDIA’s latest feature branches and making them installable via the "kmod-nvidia-open" package name as well as of the production branches like R570 with "kmod-nvidia-open-570". There are also supported Long Term Support / Legacy branches like "kmod-nvidia-535" for those needing legacy GPU driver support.
These builds from the Kmods SIG will help out in those wanting to use the NVIDIA official packaged Linux driver stack with the open-source kernel driver components. The Kmods SIG is currently offering these builds for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 / 10 and CentOS Stream 9 / 10.
These NVIDIA Linux Open GPU Kernel Modules details from the Kmods SIG was shared as part of the CentOS December News. The Kmods SIG has also begun providing Fedora-flavored kernel builds for Enterprise Linux 10 users.
