Not really a problem of Arch, but of the driver release model, then, IMO. You’d have this issue on Windows too if you just upgraded blindly, right? It’s Nvidia’s fault for not naming their drivers, or versioning/naming them in a way that indicates support for a set of architectures. Not just an incrementing number willy nilly.
Much love into 2026. Enjoy it, buddy!
Apparently? Title only mentions dropping the support on Linux. 🤷♂️
No worries, you owned up to the mistake in a very nice manner. We’re cool, you’re a good person.
Happy new years, eh!
And a spouse who wants together time.
That’s nice.
Welcome to the family. 🐧🫂
These are some weird ways to emphasize words, I gotta say. Sounds super weird when reading aloud with my inside voice.
I guess this was written by someone who doesn’t have an internal voice when they read.
I don’t need to explain myself to you, but I will indulge you nonetheless because of the message I’m trying to spread, even though your attitude off the bat really sucked. 😛
I added it because I want to normalize that you can support something or boycott something even though not doing so doesn’t affect you directly. You can stand up for something because it’s right, not just because you stand to gain something from it.
It’s meant to normalize solidarity, which we see very little of in today’s humanitarian and political climate.
I hope that satisfies you and maybe think one step further before jumping to criticize so quickly. You did make an edit but it didn’t do too much with its demanding tone.
Happy continuation of the holidays to you.
Good luck playing AAA titles maxed out in 5 years on a 5080 too… 5090 isn’t even considered a consumer card anyway, it’s more like an enthusiast, collector’s item. It’s so expensive compared to its performance value.
You have to look at performance-to-price ratio. That’s the only metric that matters, and should determine how much you can sell it for when upgrading, and how often you upgrade.
Only “issue” is that AMD doesn’t make anything that competes with the 5080/5090.
And do you really need the performance of a 5080? Certainly not that of a 5090.
My 9070 XT runs everything I need at perfectly acceptable rates on maximum settings. AAA games among them.
8.4 million GPUs losing proprietary driver support.
Are they all on Linux though?
Nothing is needed for me, I already replaced Windows. It’s been a while actually.
Not to mention that the CEO of Brave is a homophobic bigot. Good enough for me to boycott as a cis het male.
I dunno, I thought the description of the efforts and ambitions here sounded really promising. It’s not even meant to be fully X11 compatible.
I’m excited to hear more down the line. If it turns out to be nothing, fine, but I’m excited for the possibilities this could bring.
The linked latitude longitude graph looked like it was all in a pretty straight lines though.
lol, accurate but a bit difficult to see a lot of continuity.
Or long enough, as it’s on a spheroid.
Maybe you have a really good visual memory. Some people who have that can have a hard time imagining how other people can like… “kinda remember” things. 😅 I have an okay ish visual memory.
I’m great with voices on the other hand. When I hear famous voice actors I’m always so baffled when others can’t hear. “How do you not hear how that’s [famous person X]??”
Not sure if you’re on Windows or Linux but, on Linux, we have to actively take explicit actions not to upgrade something when we are upgrading the rest of our system. It takes more or less significant effort to prevent upgrading a specific package, especially when it comes in a sneaky way like this that is hard to judge by the version number alone.
On Windows you’d be in a situation like “oh, I forgot to update the drivers for three years, well that was lucky.”
