Research direction

Locate the bug-report template containing the quoted proprietary-driver section. Remove that obsolete confirmation text and checkbox, then review the template to ensure it no longer asks reporters to compare against the deprecated driver.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug
Describe the bug

The template contains:

### Please confirm this issue does not happen with the proprietary driver (of the same version).
This issue tracker is only for bugs specific to the open kernel driver.

- [ ] I confirm that this does not happen with the proprietary driver package.

AFAIK the closed source driver has long been deprecated for all GPUs starting with the RTX 20 series.

Please remove as it makes no sense any more.
