The 331.20 driver was up there for a few days in the 12.3 and 12.2 repositories, then when the 13.1 repository disappeared altogether, the repositories for older versions reverted to the 319.28 driver.
The 13.1 repository is back, and has the 331.20 driver, but the repositories for older versions still have the old driver. Does anyone know why?
The reason I ask: I did install the 331.20 driver on my 12.3 system during the brief period it was available, and it has been working fine. However, one of the threads about the missing 13.1 repository mentioned something about a “critical bug” being investigated as the reason for the disappearance, so I am concerned that there may be some serious issue with the driver or the package that I just haven’t run into yet, but should be worried about.

Just going by all the other posts I have seen in Nvidia threads the past
few days, I dont think anyone here can tell you much as they are not
involved in the actual development of the driver or the maintenance of
the repo. As far as critical bugs go, you can always revert to nouveau
if you are worried about something wrong in the Nvidia drivers.
