  • Since early in the Universal Blue project, our Nvidia repository has been building kernel modules(akmods), though only Nvidia drivers. While this approach worked great at first, it became apparent that the akmods would need to be split off into it's own layer: image This kicked off a nice community discussion where the team figured out an approach. First we needed to migrate to a new signing key and then begin splitting the akmods into its own repository. Conveniently, this also allows us to include things like v4l2loopback so that Universal Blue users will have that working out of the box. Soon we hope to add more hardware enablement akmods like XBox Wireless controllers, OpenRazer, and some older Broadcom wireless drivers. Current status: The config repo provides just commands to import the new akmod key AND the older legacy nvidia key
