X server 21.1 got released this Wednesday . There has been just one fix since the second RC and at this time there are no known regressions since the 1.20 release series. There is also a potential for subsequent 21.1.1 patch being released in the coming weeks rather than after the usual interval of …

Best bet for continued support is nouveau despite its performance/features limitations. 340 doesn’t support glvnd too which modern packages / distros have come to expect, so it…
