better Wayland support is music to my ears
I’ve been really wanting to swap to a Wayland WM but I tried several of them and had numerous flickering and black screen issues. You would think nvidia would be catering more to Linux audiences since that’s where a lot of ML dev and training will be done
Nobody trains on a GUI desktop though. Training is done on a cluster. And the kind of models that can be run on a consumer grade GPU… Nvidia doesn’t care about. They’re focused on selling 50k a pop cards to AI companies not fixing the Linux desktop for $600 card users.
It’s pretty clear that Linux users should buy AMD or Intel GPUs if you want to support even a semi open source world
Hopefully VRR gets figured out this year.
It seems like I’m still having weird rendering issues, but at least it’s usable now and things aren’t just unusably invisible (most of the time). I have Gentoo and a GTX 1080.
I’ll take it! Was experimenting with Wayland on Plasma yesterday on my 1080 TI. Still a bit glitchy. Some issues with wine (although it might be Plasma related). But it seems like slowly getting better. I’ll check it out with the new drivers once they are on Fedora and see what happens.
Since Redhat will be dropping x11 with Fedora 39, I’m hoping it’ll be all systems a go in the near future.

No, they won’t. The community-driven KDE team at Fedora plans to drop the X11 session but that’s not a Red Hat thing. Fedora will support X11 for the time being. No plans to drop any of the many other X11 desktops at all.

Any idea if they’ve included GAMMA_LUT support to make Night Shift work?
That’s about the only big thing missing for me, otherwise Nvidia drivers have been working pretty well with Wayland across my machines over the last year or so.
Nope. It’s been in their internal builds for months, but for whatever reasons, is not ready to be shipped.
