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.

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.
Yeah, my 1070 is still going very strong.
Honestly I think they want the older cards to die
as a 1050Ti owner (which still is more than enough for my usage), same
That explains the pain I was having with 650M.
I guess nouveau and friends (nova?) are there already for older cards?
I'm afraid that there is no profit for Nvidia to justify the work for supporting older hardware.
