Hello,
The official release date of Bullseye (Debian 11) is august, the 14th.
There is an Experimental Debian repository which contains the most up-
to-date non-free Nvidia driver (470.57.02-1, similar to Nvidia
website):
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/nvidia-driver
Experimental is like *-backports, a repository that only contains
selected material and is intended to be used in conjonction with Sid
(Unstable in Debian terms, but roughly similar to Archlinux in terms of
packages maturity and overall stability/security, IMO), I assume (never
used Experimental myself), if one doesn't want a FrankenDebian.
But it is likely that shortly after Bullseye release, this version of
the driver will land in Sid (Unstable). And I imagine that later, in
Bulseye-backports too.
