Severity: wishlist


NVIDIA has released the 545 branch of their drivers.
And also says now in the README[1]:

  Use of the open kernel modules on GeForce and Workstation GPUs should be considered Beta quality in this release and no longer requires setting of the "NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus" nvidia.ko kernel module parameter. The open kernel modules are suitable for broad usage, and NVIDIA requests feedback on any issues encountered that are specific to them.


Would be nice to have this avaible in experimental.

Thanks in advance
