Three generations of Nvidia GPUs are moving to the legacy driver branch.

    Say what you want about Nvidia, but one good thing about them is their closed source driver support on Windows.

    Kepler was supported for approximately ~10 years. This is much better than most PC component manufacturers.

      And their Unix driver archive keeps (almost) every single version in storage. Their linux drivers might be bad, but at least they are always available

        That is setting the bar really low…

        What’s the point of having something unusable in all versions and without the possibility of the community to “maintain” it

            They do now… not so much 10 years ago

              They did 10 years ago as well. I’ve been using them since geforce 4, and while there was teething issues with installing/updating the drivers, once installed they were good. Wayland support has been an issue, but Xorg was fine.
