I’ve been following a number of threads in the Linux category over the past few days.
When I signed up to the forum’s predecessor a while ago (several years now, probably…), I was under the impression that this was intended as a way to report/track/diagnose bugs in the driver itself, rather than as a place for general technical support issues.
I guess my feedback is whether the purpose and target/intended audience of the forum should be made clear, so that support requests can be directed to the places best suited to provide the support people need. This should also reduce the amount of duplicated effort (e.g. cross-posts between various places) as well as noise that NVIDIA developers have to sift through (the more noise, the less likely to visit or engage).
As some examples, threads that I was under the impression kind of belonged here (though that might be clarified):
Greetings,
With NVIDIA v495.29.05 drivers, I am seeing a big problem with weird/invalid dbus messages being sent to a dbus-enabled OpenGL software (a Second Life viewer in this case).
After a few minutes of running the 3D software, the /var/log/messages log fills up at an alarming rate (over 100 messages per second, leading to hundreds of MB large log files in a matter of just a few minutes) with messages such as:
Oct 24 14:55:32 localhost dbus-daemon[1939]: [system] Rejected: destination has…

The system crashes with a kernel panic due to a NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000002b20.

-The Problem-
While in-game with Adaptive Sync active (more specifically during fps drops, long stuttering periods or simple loading screens) the screen goes blank for a second or so. Then immediately recovers and Adaptive Sync keeps working fine.
I can reproduce this consistently with some games just by pausing and unpausing (or opening and closing menu windows) very quickly causing stutters.
-More info-
This used to happen on Windows with a lot of Freesync monitors a while ago but not anym…
And some examples that should have just been directed towards other support routes:
Hello, I would like to know how I can have control over the hybrid options through the terminal.
At the moment only the laptop display works with Intel video, but the Nvidia driver is installed and apparently active but not selected.
I have no video output from the HDMI output.
At the moment I have not added anything manually to /etc/X11/.
I have:
Dell G15 5511 laptop
Intel + Nvidia RTX 3050 ti,
Video is hybrid.

Got a new GPU and am switching over from and AMD to NVIDIA.
I have tried installing the driver from the Nvidia driver page as well as installing drivers from the https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64/cuda-rhel8.repo repo.
For the latter, I attempted both the latest-dkms and the 460-dkms versions.
For both the downloaded .run driver and the repo install I did:

Hello,
I am having a lot of trouble installing my GTX 1650 TI under Pop_OS! 21.04.
I’ve tried everything I could find scattered around this forum and on google as well, but to no avail.
I’ll drop some info about my current system:
