What does "Considered a stable driver" mean?
The stable driver tag refers to community feedback and response to newly released drivers. This is determined by reviewing Reddit threads about new driver releases. If the general outlook indicates the driver works well and is worth updating to, that tag is added along with a link to the reference thread. Personal experience is also taken into consideration.
