The AlmaLinux project announced today that there is now “native” NVIDIA graphics driver support for AlmaLinux 10 and AlmaLinux 9 using NVIDIA’s open-source kernel modules that are now conveniently packaged in an AlmaLinux repository for easy usage complete with NVIDIA’s closed-source user-space packages like CUDA.
AlmaLinux worked with NVIDIA to provide this native NVIDIA driver support on AlmaLinux 9 / 10 built around their modern open-source but out-of-tree kernel drivers for Turing and newer. With using the open-source kernel driver code there is working UEFI Secure Boot support and all around a better experience when installing these kernel module packages on AlmaLinux.
Enabling the NVIDIA driver stack on AlmaLinux can now be done via dnf install almalinux-release-nvidia-driver to enable the repository configurations and then dnf install nvidia-open-kmod nvidia-driver for installing the open-source kernel drivers and NVIDIA’s official user-space driver components. A nice clean experience for those wanting to use NVIDIA graphics/compute on AlmaLinux.
More details for those interested via the AlmaLinux.org blog.
