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

TLDR: I was waiting for this for almost a year.

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

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.

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.

Quoting: GuestAnd the 'casual' mode is a joke, i don't understand why you can't choose the maps like in mmDoesn't CSGO let you pick a map at the end of every match? Also you can start a vote to change map, which can be used to play the same map after game ends.
