my gpu is gtx 1650 from laptop msi gf63. im wondering if after 10 years will the gpu still have a driver in linux ? im asking this to know if the life of gpu would be better with linux or windows. it may be an absurd question but it makes sense to me. as if the usecase its to play cyberpunk(yes it does work) on a sepfic version(cracked no updates).

will that version still be useable ten years from now on ubuntu with this laptop?

    so would the last driver nvidia releases for it be installable and useable on ubuntu after ten years? or would there be different driver to use?

      I don’t know how Ubuntu in particular handles their drivers, but I would assume that at some point support of your card ends end you will then have to install nvidia-<number of the last driver version with support> or nvidia-legacy or something like that, which automatically replaces nvidia.
