The article discusses the challenges faced when using Nvidia Legacy drivers on Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble" and the impact this has on users with older GPUs. As Nvidia regularly updates its drivers to support new GPU families, older drivers become unsupported, leading to incompatibilities with newer kernels. Users may need to downgrade to earlier versions of Ubuntu, such as Jammy, to maintain graphics acceleration. The ongoing issue underscores the difficulties of using proprietary drivers, with Nvidia's current efforts to release more open-source drivers still leaving some drivers in a binary form, complicating updates and functionality.
The graphics acceleration issues with Nvidia Legacy drivers on Ubuntu necessitated downgrading to restore functionality, highlighting the challenges of proprietary driver support.
