Quoting: KohlyKohlWhere does one get this package? Latest I'm seeing is for 470.
They're always available from the Nvidia website.
Of course, though installing that way on debian based systems is not recommended.
AFAIK you can make .deb package from Nvidia's .run file and install it on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint

It's actually pretty depressing how many of these went for the proprietary option. I suppose it got a head start, but still.
Looks like this story is similar to CUDA vs OpenCL where we have two solutions but only one of them is really good but it's proprietary.

Steam not working right on Arch Linux? It's an issue with FreeType and there's a fix
10 Sep 2021 at 1:05 pm UTC

Quoting: TakuyaI just received a new update of Steam Client just now, I got the black screen. I thought that this meant I was ready to update Freetype2, to my surprise, after the self update when launching Steam Client, appeared as a package update. After update every package, it keeps showing the black screen :(.
I hope someone can help me with this issue, I'd be really grateful.
Thank you for this article and for the work you'd keep doing always :).
Receive a huge, sincere, fresh & virtual hug, as well as my best desires ^^.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGotta admit it takes me a bit of squinting to tell the difference. Look at the girl's skirt and you can kind of tell, but I'm not going "OMG, it was so bad before and it's so grt now!!!"
Yes, something is wrong with these images, looks like they are upscaled with FSR and then downscaled back.

edit: but now something is wrong with my Steam's config.
