Is this it? Will Nvidia finally help the open source community?

Here is a session for the 2020 GTG talk:

*We'll report up-to-the-minute developments on NVIDIA's status and activities, and possibly (depending on last-minute developments) a few future plans and directions, regarding our contributions to Linux kernel; supporting Nouveau (the open source kernel driver for NVIDIA GPUs, that is in the Linux kernel), including signed firmware behavior, documentation, and patches; and NVIDIA kernel drivers.*

Why are many distros still focused on CDs as an installation medium?

In my work office there isn't a single cd drive nor do I have one at home. I never really see them anymore where I live as they are no longer relevant for most people. Why is it still the tier 1 installation method for most distros when I'd imagine most people are using a usb option?

Seems Nvidia cares more about Linux then they let on.

RAM-Disk

I first heard about RAM-Disk some days ago and it sounds very exciting. I already set it up on my Kubuntu, but I don‘t have any plan how i can use it really.
Do you have some examples how you use it or what is possible to do with this speed up?
Or / And things I have to keep in mind using it?
I use my PC just for Gaming, Surfing, Coding and editing photos, if you just have an example for any of this categories.
Cheers!
