Dear Linux Admins with Nvidia GPUs

The 580 driver branch is now available since a few month, so we want it to be used as well as default at PSI. You can test it today by running

puppet agent -t --environment nvidia_580
reboot

Note that the driver as such is only installed at boot time.

Without negative feedback the plan is:
- 2025-12-16: bring 580 driver to Puppet preprod branch
- 2026-01-16: bring 580 driver to Puppet prod branch
=> next reboot (e.g. during Schaltertest) will then bring it to your machine.

Kind regards
Konrad
