From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nvidia users: *Chuckles* I'm in Danger

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I tried Gnome with Wayland and an Nvidia card just yesterday, it worked fine so far with the proprietary drivers. NixOS not Fedora though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I use Wayland on NixOS too and everything works fine except slight flickering in games.

I think it'll be fixed soon though and I can fully move to Wayland.

Can confirm. Wayland with new nvidia GPU is currently unusable even with the proprietary drivers. F39

I am currently in F39 Wayland with proprietary nVidia drivers and I have not experienced any issues. (Laptop Quadro P3200)

Edit: this was a useless comment. OP specified new, my laptop is an old boy.

They said new nVidia GPUs. Your Quadro P3200 is five years old now.

Yeah, I was talking about one of the new ones released this past January

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Shit, my bad. Totally skimmed that word.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

All good, brother. I wasn't that clear

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

That's my bad. I missed the word new. Skimmed right over it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

If it's not usable they just won't use it.

I though Nvidia was getting better

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

It’s horrible. My laptop with hybrid graphics works ok except for a brief flicker every time it wakes from sleep. It’s not a big deal. My desktop with dedicated nvidia is a hot mess - constant flickering. Steam is borderline non-functional and there are all kinds of graphical glitches on the desktop. I’m stuck with X11 on that machine.

@redcalcium @e8d79 The noVideo experience on Linux dramatically improved, especially with the latest driver versions and modern DIVORCE GPUs. We also kinda have to accept the death of X11

I sure hope so. Just the other day I updated to nvidia v550. Got a blank tty screen right after login to gnome/wayland. Rebooted the computer and login to gnome/x11, no issue. Logout and relogin to gnome/wayland, somehow no issue anymore. I guess this kind of random issues will persist until one day Nvidia decides to play nice with Wayland.
