I know that.
I'm 'bout Plasmashell memory leaking with 470.62.13 but not with 470.86. With 470.86 GTX and Plasmashell both work fine. |

Your first post doesn't really make clear what you want to tell us. |

As the mask message for 470.62.13 explains, it's the experimental vulkan driver (0/vulkan slot) and it tend to lag behind bug fixes. It gets more frequent releases with some extra vulkan work but typically doesn't backport stuff from newer versions.
You should only use it if you want to test/develop latest vulkan features (most software do not even use these features yet, i.e. it's more aimed at software developers), if you want stability use the non-masked 470.86 (0/470 slot).
I barely test it myself too (about the only bug reports I'd care about regarding it is glaring packaging issues, if kde/plasma gets bugs with that driver they should feel free to close as invalid too ), it's only there for if really needed and shouldn't be unmasked+used just because it sounds nice. |
