Huh. That looks a lot easier than changing hardware! I wonder how long *that* support is going to last? Excellent summary too. Thank you!

Hi guys! This thread has gotten pretty long and I'm not looking forward to reading all of it. Is there a TL;DR for what to upgrade the GPU in my M6800 to in 2025? Ubuntu Studio 24.04 (the latest LTS) seems to have completely dropped my Quadro K5100M (it needs something newer than NVIDIA's 470 driver, which is the latest that still supports that card), so I'm looking for something with long-projected support, and hardware video encoding. Single boot, no Windows. If it makes a difference, the screen appears in the display manager as "eDP-1", and includes a touchscreen that appears as "Wacom ISDv4 4001 Finger touch". In addition to the built-in screen, I regularly use both of the DVI outputs and the VGA output on the dock, and the HDMI output on the notebook itself. Thanks!
