Running live now in pinxi
if you have it installed
if you don't.
This will show information that will get more important now that Nvidia has taken the first steps to opensourcing it's driver, currently only for Turing/Ampere and newer GPUs, and only alpha for desktop users, but full production ready already for datacenter users.
As usual with complicated output types, -y1 helps explain the output much better since it's indented in parent/child levels.
Similar to -Cx, shows the microarchitecture name.
With -Ga, shows more, particularly for legacy drivers, and with pinxi --nvidia or pinxi --nv it shows a lot more, process nodes, last supported kernels/xorgs if legacy and EOL, etc.
It's somewhat useful I think to support people. Note that the desktop kernel open source nvidia driver is already available, and I think can be installed using their new beta 5.15 driver if you have the right architecture version, which is a big reason I hurried this out.
Any testers, samples, from old and new nvidia alike appreciated.
I only need to see the Device-x: section for each, -Gx, -Ga, --nv
Note that --nv/--nvidia triggers -Ga so you don't have to type it all.
