Don’t know if this has been mentioned before but
Nvidia is dropping 900, 1000 series cards in 580 drivers.
" Support for Maxwell-, Pascal-, and Volta-based GPUs
The release 580 series will be the last to support GPUs based on the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta architectures."
Yea, I was wondering what this will mean for us too. In the coming months, my Win 10 mid tower with a GTX 1060 was going to get a Gnome install
(I have always used KDE but have been curious for years how the other half lives 
)
explanations for people who have series 900 , 1000 , 750 , titan and mobiles version
there will be no more support , no more fixe when this concerns
that will be frozen until it broken ( support abi for example ) like 390xx and 470xx , as 580xx series
the end support is december 25
Yeah I have to exchange the graphics card in my Media PC before end of year.
I have a GTX 1060 also and i won’t be replacing it soon. I’m going to wait until it becomes problematic. Then I’ll get an AMD! Thanks Nvidia … I won’t be supporting you for many reasons.
Sure but AMD is dropping support every now and then to!
Well i have an RX 590 which is in the same league as the GTX 1060 and i don’t think they’ll be dropping it with amdgpu.
I still don’t understand what this will mean on a practical basis. Will legacy drivers be able to be built with dkms when updating the kernel and/or will they somehow still be provided as-is by the linux community since there is no current open source alternative?
Not being supported does not mean removal from existence. Legacy support is certainly a thing. This affects who knows how many users. Only time will tell… 
AMD has many issues with games lately. I see alot of reports of users with problems.
Some of us don’t game and want hardware that just works without constant driver issues. I don’t use the latest hardware out. I use what works without issues.
Exactly my thoughts. I’m done with them. All this hustle with this fkn card…
Any luck with Ryzen APUs here? I may decide to go that route if my GTX 1060 6G doesn’t work out long term, maybe add an AMD GPU later if I need more horsepower
I have a discrete 5600XT (RDNA) in my desktop (Debian Trixie), and in my current laptops I have the APU’s that include Radeon 680M (RDNA2/Debian Trixie and EndeavourOS), 780M (RDNA3/Debian Trixie, EndeavourOS and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed), and 890M (RDNA3.5/EndeavourOS) with no issues for the drivers for any of them.
