NVIDIA have announced some big changes are coming to their Linux drivers, which will start with the upcoming 560 series.

    I just wish they’d support older cards as well with the new open source stuff.

      yeah it’s a bit sad. My 1080ti is still strong enough to support modern day games, and I couldn’t care less about ray tracing. Pretty annoyed with the fact they don’t support older cards.

        That explains the pain I was having with 650M.

      Honestly I think they want the older cards to die

      I’m afraid that there is no profit for Nvidia to justify the work for supporting older hardware.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
