The most notable change is in the installation process. More specifically, NVIDIA aligns its driver installation with the CUDA Toolkit installations through package managers.
From CUDA Toolkit 12.6 onwards, the open-source driver will be the default installation method, reflecting a shift from the proprietary drivers that were standard up to CUDA Toolkit 12.5.
For instance, when installing the CUDA Toolkit using a package manager, users will now install the open-source NVIDIA driver alongside the toolkit, simplifying the process and ensuring compatibility with the latest software developments.

Any news of Wayland support in the open source noveau drivers?
