    Yeah, just don’t update your drivers for two years. Who needs that shit anyway.

      Found the Debian user.

      (But seriously: aside from security bugfixes, if everything is working there really isn’t a reason to update drivers for two years.)

      Edit: especially since this is Windows nonsense that Linux users don’t have to care about to begin with. “Who needs that shit anyway” indeed, LOL!

        My comment was meant ironically.

        If you use the GPU just as a video out, sure, you probably don’t need most updates, but for gaming (and this is a pcgaming community) you probably want to update regularly, since some games require the latest version or to improve game performance.

        I don’t know about Linux, but I know the Nvidia drivers on Windows have had a number of security issues recently.
