NVIDIA driver 555.58 released as stable bringing Wayland Explicit Sync
The time is finally here. The next big stable update to the NVIDIA proprietary driver for Linux with version 555.58 bringing Wayland Explicit Sync.
You're viewing a single thread.
Please let this be the fix I need to make Linux work with my hardware
Any idea how long it will be before this release reaches something like Bazzite?
Cool can I wait here with you?
I dig bazzite but gosh it seems to be a 50/50 shot whether the OS will load to the desktop or actually shutdown when I turn off the computer through the OS. I have it on two machines and one (Intel CPU with Nvidia GPU) works pretty well, the other (AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU) is struggling.
Grab a chair, we'll wait 🪑
Bazzite's been my most stable experience with Linux so far, but I might give Pop_OS another go if this update reaches it first.
I've gotten into the habit of just going into the terminal and using shutoff instead of using the os button for it. It seems to work every time, and I'm on the AMD CPU, Nvidia GPU situation as well. I'm really hoping this getting into bazzite will fix the issues I have with discord on Wayland.
Bazzite has finally completely locked up on me. Have you had any luck?
You can use Linux without Wayland, which is probably the root of your problem (I'm guessing).
Unfortunately, from the issues I've had, it sounds like I'm reliant on Wayland if I want to be able to use two monitors with different refresh rates.
Ah, well in any case, get those proprietary drivers installed, don't wait for your package maintainer!
Can I? I don't know how and I was told before that I can't update the driver on my own.
Don't, being among the first to install a new Nvidia driver version is a good way to get a system that doesn't display anything after being rebooted. I would wait a week or two before installing them (basically when they land in your distros repositories)
Thank you! If you don't mind, when it does land on Bazzite, how will I know and how do I update it then?
I have no idea about Bazzite but since it is based on Fedora Atomic, I would guess at around the same time as regular Fedora. I think realistically if there is a fix for the firefox issues under wayland, it should be there within 2-3 weeks
