Nvidia announced that it plans to retire some of their legacy Linux graphics drivers at the end of 2022, and will no longer provide further updates to some some very old GPU drivers.

The Linux 340 legacy driver series currently supports G8x, G9x, and GT2xx GPUs, as well as motherboard chipsets based on them. The current and last release is 340.108 and supports Linux kernel 5.4 and X.Org Server 1.20.

Lastly, the Nvidia 390 legacy Linux graphics driver is the last to support GF1xx “Fermi” GPUs. This series will continue to receive support for new Linux kernel and X.Org Server releases for the three years, until the end of 2022.
