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.

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

Shit, my bad. Totally skimmed that word.

[–] RedNight@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

All good, brother. I wasn't that clear

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