Re: Request for discussion: Maintaining NVIDIA 470 legacy driver support for future Debian releases

I understand that maintaining an old proprietary driver requires
significant effort, including applying compatibility patches, testing
against newer kernels, and handling build issues. However, there are still
users with older NVIDIA GPUs who would like to continue using Debian
without switching to the Nouveau driver or replacing functional hardware.

This will be hard, as the kernel and X11/Wayland change over the time.
That means either the kernel needs to be modified or the binary driver (which is hard and IIRC not allowed according to their license).
