Quoting: JahimselfIsn't this a prove the developper haven't a clue about anything what they are doing?
I should add they didn't screw up when adding Linux EAC support initially and they fixed missing .so file problem in a few hours only. I hope Linux bans will be reversed as soon as possible.

NVIDIA 530.30.02 mainline Beta driver rolls out, plus a new Vulkan Beta driver

Quoting: Xpandernot sure what this is all about though? some security thing?

Added compatibility for Linux kernels with Indirect Branch Tracking IBT)
It means hell yeah! (For me, at least) Indirect Branch Tracking is a security feature in Intel Gen 11+ GPUs. Enabling IBT requires all kernel modules to be compiled with certain options, which is not a problem for mainline modules but breaks Nvidia driver. On Arch Linux based distros, (IBT is disabled upstream, for now) having an Intel Gen 11+ processor required a kernel parameter, otherwise Nvidia driver crashes and you get no display output.
TLDR: I was waiting for this for almost a year.

Quoting: BoldosI trust it is really them and not that proverbial "some anonymous person somewhere in Nebraska" who packaged it on his/her PC and then published it to the store with whatever hacks attached inside.
I understand your argument, but there are snaps which fall into 2nd category as well. Example: https://snapcraft.io/publisher/mmtrt [External Link]
AFAIK with Flatpak you need to provide build instructions if you want to get the Flatpak published to Flathub unless you can't because the source is not available.
