Pascal… Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time… A long time
The 1060 is still hanging around ~2% usage on steam hardware survey, so it's not completely irrelevant yet.
We never keep to the present. We anticipate the future as if we found it too slow in coming and were trying to hurry it up, or we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we wander about in times that do not belong to us, and do not think of the only one that does.
That newer open source driver is still far behind but is progressing. Those graphics cards will have a great new life with modern kernels someday

Just make 580 legacy. Problem solved. :) (It's already LTS though)
By the way, I have GTX 1080 and this seems to be end of the way. What is the similar AMD I can get, preferably second hand?
Maybe the RX 7600 XT.
It's in the second to latest generation (7000 not 9000), should be slightly faster than a GTX 1080, and doubles the VRAM capacity to 16 GB so you wouldn't be in danger of running into limitations with that too soon.

That's why I'm not on bleeding edge.
Oh, haha I was confused for a second about the Pascal language 🤭
I'm running PopOS and Debian with Nvidia cards that should be affected by this, if I'm understanding this right. Ugh.
What a pain.
Nah, you're in pop and Debian, you'll be fine for a while.
