Is there a good way to roll back the nvidia driver to an older version? I need 470 for my vr headset, as newer versions seem to disable video output to the headset. I have tried some logical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-driver and also some more radical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge “^nvidia-*” but that somehow left all my drivers intact, and I am still on the newest version 525.147.05. Does someone know on how step back?
It looks like Debian 12 only provides 525, 390 and a legacy 340 driver, based on the wiki. As @people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org mentioned, Debian 11 has a 470 driver, but that would be a different set of repositories that would probably not work great for you on Debian 12.
The actual latest Nvidia driver is 550 as of a few days ago, so maybe you could try a manual install of either the latest or 470? I’m not sure if anything like
downgradeorfrogging-family\nvidia-allexists for Debian, I *sigh* use Arch Linuxbtw.
