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.

Those who are using Nvidia's driver 555, what's your experience in Wayland so far? Those who are using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR in Wayland? (lemmy.ca)

I currently have an AMD video card (6700 XT) and Wayland support is excellent. Also, multi-monitor support in Wayland works perfectly.

So what's your experience with Nvidia's 555 driver in Wayland? Those using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR? I ask about VRR because I heard that multi-monitor VRR in Wayland is still problematic.

This is for my own curiosity if an Nvidia video card could be considered as an upgrade option.

VRR does not work if you have a NVIDIA card and more than one monitor enabled. If you disable extra monitors it'll work, but that's hardly a workaround (and it's one of the main reasons I'm still on Windows).

I'm also getting a lot of xwayland crashes while playing or simply when trying to drag a window, those crashes freeze my entire PC and I have to reboot.

To be fair, most, if not all of my issues preventing me from fully moving to Linux seem to be fixed by using an AMD card, but I'm not in the market for a new card (I have a 3080) nor do I want to lose DLSS, which is a game changer to me.

It's really unfortunate. Multi-monitor VRR is a must as I'm a gamer and I'd like my second monitor to be active when I'm playing, so I can use Discord and browse game guides, for example. I think I'll continue to buy AMD graphics cards until this issue is resolved.
