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.
I’ve tried out Wayland for a few days with KDE, I loved how smooth it is and lots of little X11 gfx nuisances are just gone. I really enjoy it, however Firefox often starts spontaneously blinking/flickering the entire browser window on/off every few seconds, is that something you have seen or found a solution for? Both in Wayland and XWayland for me :(

Not something I have experienced yet, mercifully. The only bug I have encountered frequently is that the KDE panel sometimes crashes under Wayland and instantly restarts itself, usually when I am hovering over a panel icon. I think it’s a known issue and at least at some point was in the KDE-Wayland open issues, so perhaps it’s not Nvidia-specific.
That being said, on my main machine I have migrated recently to a Debian Stable base and am using Cinnamon + X11, with Flatpak for newer applications, and Distrobox / Podman container for all development stuff. Everything works like a charm, and am not missing Wayland at all at the moment.
For all practical purposes, it needs to be supported in the closed nvidia-drm driver module. I am not sure if nouveau supports it already, and maybe it does, but I have not really used that for any length of time beyond installing the proprietary ones.

Yes, the release notes have not mention of it either, so I guess it’s not there yet: 535.54.03 release notes
Nope. It’s been in their internal builds for months, but for whatever reasons, is not ready to be shipped.

NB: Haven’t tried the new driver yet.

Your guess is as good as mine, has the GAMMA_LUT been made open sourced already?
