Masks

  • NVIDIA dropped support for the 470.xx branch in September 2024[1].
    Users are free to unmask and keep using, but be warned it is very likely to be affected by security issues[2] as NVIDIA does not track nor fix these for this branch anymore.
    Gentoo will keep it packaged for as long as reasonably possible (albeit masked) but no true support will be given nor patches for newer kernels. It is recommended to use 6.6.x LTS kernels or older (6.6.x will be supported upstream until December 2026, and 6.1.x a year further to December 2027).
    Major issues will lead to removal without further warning, e.g. if no usable kernels left in tree, or if broken with a newer Xorg.
    >> It is recommended to switch to nouveau[3] drivers (regardless of its worse performance), or ideally replace the hardware.

  • Vulkan beta driver branch aimed at Vulkan developers for testing new features. Beside vulkan, it is typically behind the main branch and may be buggier or less secure. Only unmask if really wanted.
