This is a proposal to switch the nvidia package to the open kernel modules, starting post 580 version, given that 580 is the last driver version to support pre-turing cards.

The original template can be forked to a package called nvidia580, and keep using the proprietary kernel module to support pre-turing cards.

Testers welcome.

Additionally, worth mentioning that this template uses nvidia's precompiled open kernel module, we could alternatively build it ourselves, @abenson please give your take.

Have fun!

@abenson This is ready for prime time if we are going down this route(besides actually testing it).

Otherwise, as soon as the other PR is merged I'll close this one.

Cheers!
