is the nouveau project mostly dead? how continuous is development on it?

Check the freedesktop site/repos. It was recently updated with support for 20, 30 & 40 series reclocking and hardware support. Runs pretty snappy on a 4080 and Plasma wayland. NVK, the vulkan part of it has been coming along nicely the past fee months as well.

Totally has signs of life.

Can I overclock in Wayland on a 3090 with those drivers?

That’s the only thing tieing me to X11.

Overclocking isn’t supported on newer boards with nouveau. You would need to use Nvidia’s binary driver for that. Look at the nvidia-smi command for doing it on wayland. I have not actually tried adjusting the clocks, just the power limit on Wayland though. Look at the”–application-clocks=“ cmdline option to it.

It’s probably not used anymore since the FreeDesktop Gitlab instance exists.

There’s some activity there. gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/activity

I would assume effort is just being put into NVK instead now

Isn’t nvk supposed to be a part of what nouveau provides like how RADV provides vulkan functionality for the AMDGPU driver.

Yeah, NVK is their Vulcan driver. The rest of the user space Nouveau handles OpenGL (though they might just is Zink in the future, which translates OpenGL calls to Vulcan).
