If the reverse engineered Nvidia GPU drivers are any indication, very difficult

They're functional for very basic desktop stuff but 3D performance is abysmal

A big reason for the abysmal performance is however that nvidia has intentionally locked down the performance for code that doesn't have the right credentials. We don't know if Apple have done something similar.

I assume you mean reclocking support, it is possible to reclock the older Kepler architecture on open source drivers but it still underperforms

Kepler is anywhere from 2x to 10x faster on the proprietary driver here: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia-n...

Not what you'd expect from a macbook. Perhaps it's in Apple's interest to let it happen though!

I wish it were so. Apple has no reason to allow other operating systems on its devices because macOS and iOS are gateways to their massive array of paid services.
