Hello,

Last time was mentioned in 2022-02-27 update announcement because it became already very old news, so the 2022-03-14 update announcement didn’t have it

[Stable Update] 2022-02-27 - Kernels, Mesa 21.3.7, Plasma 5.24.2, Frameworks 5.91, Pipewire 0.3.47, Toolchain, Gstreamer 1.20, Nvidia 510.54

Nvidia 495xx driver series drops Kepler support; need to manually switch to 470xx.

mhwd’s video-nvidia now provides 495xx; if you need 470xx you must manually switch before updating, by using the commands below.

With the new 495xx driver series a lot of Wayland adjustments got added. Also Nvidia decided to remove Kepler support . Therefore you may want to switch drivers to 470xx series, which still supports those graphic cards:
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx

The logic applies to hybrid …
