Nvidia jetson nano is nothing old…
At the legal level of complaint, it was released in 2019 and has barely had two years of full support.
The GPU is based on Maxwell when in GPU PC Drivers it keeps getting implementations in the 510 branch when the nano is based on the very old nvidia drivers branch 440 or so? with wayland buggy support and old vulkan implementation.
We needed the same support as PC no mediocre support…
No Vulkan 1.3 (very import for near future), missing Wayland vulkan Working , A lot of bugs in resize or alt+tab hangs cause by nvidia egl core with no idea why.
Nvidia jetson nano could run Ubuntu 20.04 as a base without any problem excepted snapd packages gpu aceleration not detected correctly for some reason snap package run mesa driver first and not detected tegra libs.
Also needeed rebuild kernel with some flag for working
CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZ4=y
CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZO=y
Anyway snap packages it’s optional option by canonical .
Even Ubuntu 22.04 (the latter, installation would be easier if there was support for Xorg 1.21) Importants Tweaks for not break Nvidia GPU drivers and some mainline Ubuntu stuff
If I can upgrade why not nvidia can create one base?
It’s no reason for stuck Ubuntu 18.04 for always buggy libs.
Other part is inadmissible is the current status of nvidia jetson nano with graphics drivers, it is a critical wayland support that does not fix and auto closed without fix https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/how-status-working-wayland-with- the-curret-jetpack-32-6-32-7/222847
This support is very important for some applications.
This problem does not occur with Xavier or Orin blobs they can load vulkan wayland without fail.
Why not for Jetson nano? :/
This is my opinion for developing and expert linux system user
We also needed to install blobs on other distros due is Ubuntu repository being bug/old libraries for a while without testing
Debian repo it’s better than Ubuntu repos in perfomance and stability for SBC boards but the actual deb can install on debian due the compresion .
What will happen after 2023 EOL ubuntu 18.04? We will have a buggy paperweight base that we won’t be able to resolve without nvidia colaboration.
