It is one of the reasons to be very hesitant to apply "updates" to a running 
system. You never know what is going to break or change in a negative way. I 
still need to downgrade Thunderbird, and report a loss of a function in the 
most recent version of LibreOffice.

If Nvidia has dropped support for the GT 350 I will be having a problem in 
the not too distant future. I'm using a GeForce GTX 1050 which is much older 
card. I use the proprietary nvidia 545.29.06 driver. Which version is 
dropping GT 350 and older?
