Same, this cg saved the day by allowing me to create quickly a small linux computer for a big event.

I love this card!

I have a 980 Ti and it's still suiting my needs perfectly, is there going to be a time when i can't get drivers that'll let me game on linux? Or will some distro always support the 580 drivers? I'm a little confused at this.

If a game requires a new feature you might be screwed, but it probably won't happen for a while and it would only be that game. Plus existing games would still be fine.
