The installed -yes.
This is the easier way. If by 1 by 1, you mean packages in general, yes.
You only need to lock one version of the 560 for all relevant Nvidia-driver-560 packages to also end up locked. It would be one selection, ultimately.
Because once you lock the primary driver in place, the dependencies are not satisfied for peripheral packages associated with the primary.
Will come back to this tomorrow 
. I already used the apt-hold command but the pop shop still show those updates.
Same result btw when i lock the 555 driver in synaptics
The upgradable packages can be shown - but not applied by using the sudo apt full-upgrade, sudo apt dist-upgrade.
However, the sudo apt install nvidia-driver-560 command would install the upgrade, overriding the hold status.
I am not sure which command the Pop Store would implement in its programming of that GUI app.
Even if they are marked in synaptic?
Lutris i installed from the github and did mark hold the update because the pop shop wants to downgrade it. That one works. For nvidia it’s not
I believe so, yes. I remain unsure of how the POP Store manages packages.
Hmmm maybe i should disable the driver updates option then.
Alpha 2 is out with Cosmic DE.
I am going to wait for the full release :). Pop OS 22.04 with nvidia drivers 555.58.02 is rock solid here.
I installed it using the Source Code. I notice that it requires and relies on Gnome and Gnome extensions.
If it is reliant on Gnome as a dependency - I do not see how it could replace Gnome.
Maybe this is only temporary until it is finished.
There's still some gnome stuff/dependencies that need to be sort out, but it's only matter of time.
Probably so they know what they still have to write in rust. I highly doubt they will use cosmic with gnome stuff.
Tried to hold them, the terminal does not upgrade it but the pop shop keeps saying there are updates available. I dont do pop shop updates so i really dont care. My notebook stays on 555.xxx
Today i used synaptic on the acer unit and downgraded to 550, it seems 555.xxx was a NFB driver. This is probably why pop os removed 555 and replaced it for 560 which is also NFB.
550 driver (Recommended/Certified) (stable)
560 (New Feature Branch Driver) (stable/unstable)
The Acer Predator G9-793-71SJ still has the same issue i had back in Q1-2023. The whole week it boots up just fine and once in a while the screen becomes black after the predator logo during boot. Nothing works, so i have to force shut down it (which i hate to do). I probably will try fedora on this unit or endeavour os to see what happens (to check if it is not a ubuntu bug).
That's another reason I like Mint OS using Cinnamon DE it uses Synaptic for updates ..... well at least you have to sign in to Synaptic to down load updates .... not sure about security updates as I haven't had any of those yet .....
Alpha 3 is out!
Alpha 4 is out as well.
Tried it and loved it. I made a small video without sound to show some stuff fast. Tried the latest osb for the first time and record this video at 30 fps (not a pro video). I also tried lutris and steam and they all work great on the old hp notebook.
Weird thing i encountered, in zorin os steam refused to start on this older notebook. I had to use the terminal to get steam to launch. With pop os it works just as it should. First i thought the notebook whas to old to fire it up but now i am thinking zorin os might had a configuration set wrong (dedicated gpu refused steam)
