NVIDIA today issued the 580.94.11 driver release as their newest Vulkan beta driver for Linux customers. Most notable with this beta driver update is adding VK_EXT_hdr_metadata support.

The NVIDIA Windows driver has supported the VK_EXT_hdr_metadata extension (all the way back to 2018) and the open-source Mesa Linux drivers also supported this HDR metadata extension while only now is being enabled by the NVIDIA Linux driver. VK_EXT_hdr_metadata is used for dealing with SMPTE 2086 metadata and CATA 861.3 metadata for Vulkan swapchains.
