From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Once a week, or so, this shows up. In the past, when I have simply let it happen, not every time, but more than once, after the update, Blender is borked, and I need to Timeshift back to before the update. I have no way to know if updating will screw Blender without just trying, which is annoying. AFAIK, I have no issues with the video drivers the way they are. What I've been doing recently is setting to "ignore once". Is there some reason I shouldn't just set these to ignore always? Will I regret doing that in a year or five?

Thank you.

Most of those are updates to the flatpack base software not the actual display drivers.

It is unlikely to cause any issues updating them.

Those gl flatpaks are actually the display drivers. Flatpak doea not use any system libraries, it has to depend on a flatpak for everything, but most things are already in org.freedesktop.Platform, but not nvidia drivers of course.
