NVIDIA engineers continue working a lot on the in-development and in-tree open-source Nova kernel driver for their GPUs. Sent out on Friday night were the Turing enablement patches for this Rust-written Nova-Core driver code.

Timur Tabi of NVIDIA sent out a set of 11 patches working on Turing support for Nova. The several hundred lines of new Rust code complements the Ampere hardware support already in Nova-Core and other NVIDIA GPU generations in the works. As noted previously with Nova, it's designed around the NVIDIA GPU System Processor (GSP) usage with its firmware blobs for doing much of the heavy lifting.

GNOME's Nautilus file manager is finally matching the behavior of other file managers like KDE's Dolphin and Xfce's Thunar with a keyboard shortcut for copying and pasting files.

This Week in GNOME highlighted a notable albeit one could argue long overdue change for GNOME Files / Nautilus: Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert support for copying and pasting files.
