WARNING
- This is a major release (from
v5.9.13 -> v5.10.15
) - some features may dissapear and/or stop working! - use with caution. If you are a regular user (not a kernel module developer, for example), you *may* not have problems. - Old NVIDIA driver (
460.32
or lower) WON'T WORK - this new kernel release brings new features making it incompatible with older NVIDIA drivers - use driver460.32
or higher to be able to use your graphics card (PPA "https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa" has the latest working drivers properly). - This update also removes support for a lot of devices - if you see incompatibilities, please contact me with an issue or by mail:
