NVIDIA 595.71.05 stable driver released for Linux

By Liam Dawe - 28 Apr 2026 at 3:54 pm UTC

A tiny Recommended Driver update arrived for NVIDIA GPU owners on Linux, with version 595.71.05 now available. This follows on from the previous bigger stable update NVIDIA driver 595.58.03 that was released back in March, which had a lot more bug fixes and new features.

This v595.71.05 release has one single change noted:

Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications to stop rendering after resuming from suspend when running on Wayland.

While it's only one change, that sounds like quite a nuisance issue to deal with. So nice to see it solved.

I recently had to go back to the 580-series because of a crash that would happen when I lock my screen and the monitors are put to sleep. When I came back to my PC I could see the backlights of the screens would be on but the picture was all black. When this happened the PC became completely unresponsive and I had to reach for the physical reset button. This doesn't sound like it fixes that even though it's in a similar ballpark. Anyway, now I'm on 580.142 which doesn't seem to have this problem.
