Mostly saving this spot for some spergy unixposting, but as far as graphics go, but for substance for now I'll just add in that the level of graphics support on Linux and BSD has changed a bit due to the requirements of Kernel Mode Settings by newer Intel, AMD, and Nvidia caards.

You're confusing Nvidia with Nouveau. Nouveau is going the KMS/GEM/DRM route, but Nvidia's binary blob which is superior in every way except the fact that it's not open source will probably never use KMS.
