I use Gentoo and there are no ebuilds for that driver version. If there is one, I will hold off upgrading to that version. The 3xx.xx drivers are noted as unstable by the Gentoo community. Test at your own risk.

I have been using nVidia graphics for years in Linux. Poor nVidia driver support is related to bad package management or bad package maintainer from pre-compiled distributions. nVidia does not have poor driver support in Linux. At least nVidia fixes problems and supports all features of their graphics cards. Intel graphics and AMD graphics in Linux have poor support.

Nvidia Corp. has been criticized for poor support of Linux operating system and low performance under the OS.

Quite the opposite, nvidia has offered excellent support and unparalleled performance in Linux for a decade now. The "fu** you" from Torvalds was reguarding an open driver. This driver release does not change that. This driver simply out performs the previous releases which already was and always has been at least as fast as the windows drivers. With valve and nvidia collaborating they have found performance advantages by utilizing Linux and openGL that cannot be easily equalled in a DX/Win environment.

I guess the middle finger from Linus worked miracles here.
