Thank you for informing me about that. Do those distros used a "Driver Manager" of some sort to select between nouveau and the Nvidia binary blob? BTW, this evening, I've been running Elite Dangerous Odyssey (which uses Vulkan), and knock-on-wood, so far it has been almost flawless with the open driver. (Had a weird strobing effect when being deployed from a dropship into a ground conflict zone, but that could be a game bug -- sometimes EDO lighting can be a bit funny.) -- -v
