NVIDIA has released version 595.58.03 of its Linux x64 display driver, officially dropping support for the GTX 10 series in the stable branch while focusing on stability improvements. The update addresses critical issues such as kernel panics when disconnecting Thunderbolt docks and freezes on Wayland desktops under load, enhancing overall desktop stability. Additionally, the release includes fixes for kernel crashes and improves memory management to prevent Wayland freezes during high demand. Users with older GPUs will need to transition to legacy branches or upgrade their hardware, as proprietary drivers are no longer supporting older architectures
