As you see below, the closed source driver is 1 year old. Why is this so old? This laptop is not that old, so a newer driver might make a difference.
Also, why is the open source driver, video-linux , even older? Isn’t that odd? I used it before because it’s the only way now to make wayland work. But its age is unsettling.
