Beware that fbdev=1 is not a minor change. It enables the nvidia driver
to register a framebuffer device, which in turn unregisters simple-
framebuffer and simpledrm. This will be used to drive the TTYs screen.
This feature wasn't considered stable by nvidia until the 570 release,
where it is enabled by default (although nvidia also considers KMS
unstable, so there's that...)

I had actually previously found this major issue with fbdev=1: 
https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-drivers-common/commit/d1ed4552ef090290d3431bc1f2ae6b2b770e1793
The workaround is luckily already included in jammy and noble. In facts the 570 
driver which enables fbdev by default passed the certification. I suppose that 
the bug might also have been fixed by nvidia in the meantime.

TL;DR: beware this is not a minor change.
