the fork looks like it is backed by nvidia, but it will be a few months until an actual new release is ready. Best linux news all year.

I am pretty sure you are wrong. They even tell in the README https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver that nvidia is going to be a problem.

    While I doubt Nvidia will back this fork over the real X.org, their open source drivers should be less problematic.

    Unfortunately, whether or not you can use their open source drivers depends on what year you bought your GPU, and anything not labeled RTX or GTX-16* will never get a fully functional open source Nvidia driver.
