Look at history. We had big troubles with AMD dropping support for many GPU (and not that old!) and providing a package that was only for an old 4.4 kernel (stable for Ubuntu 16.4) for years. So that's not just guessing around, you can still ignore experiences but that would be at your own risk. At least read some thread posted here by people having their GPU not supported... NVIDIA has proved up to know to be more respectful to the Linux community. I'm running Debian/Unstable for years and using nvidia- kernel Debian package without issue on recent kernels. -- Pascal Obry / Magny Les Hameaux (78) The best way to travel is by means of imagination http://www.obry.net gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key F949BD3B ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
