Repair version for open-kernel NVIDIA version driver (LINUX)

Open TheRealOne78 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Description

This PR repairs how NVIDIA drivers should get their version. The new NVIDIA open-kernel driver has the new word Open in /proc/driver/nvidia/version. The way NVIDIA recommends to get the NVIDIA version is by getting it from /sys/module/nvidia/version.

By using the old method, neofetch would output the NVIDIA driver like this: image

Thank you for your contribution!

This PR is merged into hyfetch since this repo (dylanaraps/neofetch) seems no longer maintained.

HyFetch is a fork of neofetch with LGBTQ pride flags, but the repo also serves as an updated version of neofetch, addressing many pull requests that are not merged in the original repo.
