          nVidia likes to use that 'public' wording it seems, like - 'Public GeForce Game Ready' drivers.

          I guess there are 'Internal FeGorce Gamen Unready' drivers or so

          You know 'public' like normal man ready to go outside house, unlike opensource drivers who when are ready they are like naked whore outside so are only ready to film a porno movie with it "please compile me enitrely, please compile me, from here, from there, from everywhere" And of course after some time people say "OK, it was interesting but now i am bored, don't have time, etc... please go and compile yourself"

              I know this is slightly off-topic, but has nvidia made any progress in their plans to support wayland? They didn't want to use GBM and wanted to propose a new API (better than GBM). Has there been any progress?

                I'm waiting for Vulkan support for GTX 400/500 as I have these and they're still great, they outperform any intel stuff.

                    Thanks but no thanks!
                    I will never buy again anything from Nvidia
                    If they want to be assholes, fine with me, but I wished they just stopped making a crap out of Vulkan with these Nvidia-only extensions.
                    And since I think Nvidia=assholes, I think that any game developer using these Nvidia-only extensions must be assholes too, so I won't buy any game from them either.
                    So good luck selling me your product!
