Are you talking about for desktop/GUI use? A lot of older Nvidia hardware has been implicitly depreciated for years. Without newer patches to help Wayland support, your options are either to use nouveau or stick with unsupported software and official drivers. It's ugly, but Microsoft and Apple pretty much depreciate hardware the same way; first with 'recommended' cutoff points, then hard depreciations. On Linux it's less spelled-out, but things seem to be Wayland-or-bust now.

*deprecate or “EOL” (for continuing support). Depreciate is a tax and accounting concept, though often at the end of a MACRS depreciation schedule office equipment is often immediately replaced since it’s no longer contributing to tax write-offs. (Really, just not replaced as long as it continues to contribute to tax deductions)

It was mentioned elsewhere, but we support down to cuda 11.4, which supports down to the Maxwell architecture (nearly 10 years old now).
