will nvidia 340xx proprietory drivers be dropped? <SOLVED>

Post by ratatosk1985 »

Hi,

I newly switched to Linux Mint, because my prior distro manjaro quit the proprietary drivers for my nvidia 340xx gpu. I also heard it beeing no longer supported at KaOS. My question is, will Mint also quit the support?

I already tried the free Mesa drivers, but not without experiencing tearing and other hickups.

Thank you for your help.

Not until at least the end of life of Ubuntu 20.04, which is a long term support distribution and scheduled for EOL in April 2025.
