 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

If that's a Fermi GPU then I think you may be sticking to Windows, at least for now. Fedora's take: here Debian's here The latter in effect says nvidia's newer proprietary driver has dropped support for such as Fermi if I'm reading it right :( Granted, a workaround may be done but for now looks like Win11 and hope that's OK.

Wow - I have to say that graphics card is a BEAST. Crikey!  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

But it's "old tech" now and no longer supported! Microsoft seem to have been to the school of Nvidia thinking now. Generation of someone else's electronic waste doesn't matter if it secures future sales for the company. Luckily Linux makes it more of a 2-horse race. You *can* use an older version if you want to continue using your older hardware, something that Windows doesn't allow (in theory). Very often you can run a newer desktop on an older kernel and lose very little in actual operation or appearance.
