      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

          I think no one super serious trains on a desktop but there are bunch of hobbyists that are going to start appearing as tools become more friendly and AI becomes more mainstream. It’s still a decent market and nVidia would do well to make their cards more friendly on Linux in general because it’s finally gaining some decent popularity.

    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.

        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.

      Nope. It’s been in their internal builds for months, but for whatever reasons, is not ready to be shipped.

      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 :(

      NB: Haven’t tried the new driver yet.

        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.

    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.

    Does anyone know when these drivers are coming to KDE Neon?

    I tried to install them manually by booting from TTY, purge my current drivers and install them but I got an error saying that nvidia-drm was still running in the kernel, I read several solutions but I really don’t like breaking my system for trying to install some drivers.

    And why do I want to install them? Well, the 530 drivers made a BIG difference for me in terms of gaming compatibility in Wayland, and I wanted to see if they would solve some problems with these drivers.

    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.
