Update GNOME, NVidia drivers, kernel?

rinaldus

When will you plan to update main packages such as GNOME to 3.38, NVidia drivers to 455, kernel to 5.8.x ?

rinaldus We don't ship .0 versions of anything unless it's unavoidable. They tend to be buggy as hell. GNOME will have to wait until at least 3.38.1 is available. nvidia-beta-driver is already on 455. Kernel 5.8 is blocking on an NVMe bug that keeps my system from booting. Until it gets fixed, I can't update the kernel.

rinaldus NVidia drivers to 455,

They have been available since the middle of September, as the nvidia-beta-driver package. The update to the stable series came out just today, so no surprise we haven't got that one yet (will package it in a couple of minutes though)

rinaldus kernel to 5.8.x

There is an as of yet still unresolved issue with NVMe controllers and this kernel series, so it won't be updated until that is fixed.

rinaldus GNOME to 3.38

No idea, I haven't been following that one.
