NVIDIA has released their latest Linux graphics driver update with version 535.86.05. So here's what's new and improved for you. This is classed as a stable driver release for all users, mostly just bug fixing so you should be good to go ahead and install it right now.
The changelog:
- Fixed a bug that caused excessive memory consumption when OpenGL and Vulkan applications were running while VT-switched away from X.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the kernel to panic when video memory is full.
- Fixed a bug that prevented displays from refreshing when using an NVIDIA PRIME Display Offload sink.
- Fixed a bug that could cause some Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) monitors to flicker by allowing the refresh rate to drop below the monitor's minimum.
- Fixed a bug that caused corruption when running Vulkan applications.
- Fixed a regression that could cause a system hang when running windowed Vulkan applications with sync-to-vblank enabled.
- Fixed a video memory leak observed when turning off a connected monitor while using certain Wayland compositors.

Nops. The recently "opened" driver Nvidia is maintaining on Github.

You're completely right. 1080 is out of the support matrix for that GPU as well.
Guess the only route here is to use the driver Nvidia elects as "LTS" when the time comes and GTX 1080 will have to stick with a specific driver version.

Quoting: EhvisAny notable remaining issues that weren't there in 525?
Elite: Dangerous/Odyssey U16 still has massive graphic corruption and all kind of startup issues w/Proton Experimental. None of them were in 525 on my 1080Ti. I'm testing some envvars/startup tricks if I can find a way to play without reverting to nv525, but no luck so far.
