NVIDIA released today the NVIDIA 550.135 graphics driver as the latest “Production Branch” version for users who want to stay on the stable side of things and not use the NVIDIA 560 “New Feature Branch” series.

NVIDIA 550.135 is a small update that only improves support for distribution running the Linux 6.11 kernel series, which renamed drm_fbdev_generic to drm_fbdev_ttm, by using drm_fbdev_ttm when present to keep supporting direct framebuffer access on Wayland compositors to present content on newer kernels.
