fuck. I just realised I have a pascal NVIDIA card on my laptop.

I'm running debian 13, wtf do I do?

EDIT : seems ok?

It was expected that the Linux Driver support will end with the GPU driver branch 580 as well, but NVIDIA extended this to branch 590 (it jumped straight from branch 580 to 590 and a single v580 Linux GPU driver exists). So, if you are boasting any of these GPUs, you won't be getting Game Ready drivers that offer day-one game support and optimizations for the upcoming titles. However, there should be no issue in using them for how long you wish. Still, users should keep an eye on the quarterly updates as these are essential.

Nothing. You run Debian. It'll keep working at least until Debian 14. Possibly even after.
