I'm glad the AMD GPU option still exists, I don't have great experience with NVIDIA on Linux. The rest of the upgrades, like the new top cover and keyboard, are very welcome

FYI All current and future Nvidia drivers are open source, since blackwell.

But they are not in the actual Linux kernel, and are a separate module that does not adhere to Linux kernel code conventions. It also has no user-space driver that isn't NVIDIA's proprietary driver. Anything further open-source such as NVK is not being worked on by NVIDIA, but by other 3rd parties.

Compared to AMD and Intel, NVIDIA is very much not an 'out of the box', or stable experience.
