@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
It definitely is, but “better” does not mean “good” unfortunately.
Hopefully Nvidia will push harder for decent drivers now that corporate Linux servers are in route to disabling X11, but as you can still get X11 back with just a simple package, I expect this process to take years.
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.
Nvidia users: *Chuckles* I’m in Danger
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)
They said new nVidia GPUs. Your Quadro P3200 is five years old now.
That’s my bad. I missed the word new. Skimmed right over it.
Yeah, I was talking about one of the new ones released this past January
Shit, my bad. Totally skimmed that word.
All good, brother. I wasn’t that clear
If it’s not usable they just won’t use it.

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