Released: NVIDIA 555.42.02 Linux Beta Brings Wayland Explicit Sync, GSP Firmware

Not outside of what was expected. Worth noting that i am using Kwin on Wayland, so out of order frames, and flickering of CEF and Electron on XWayland apps was an issue. I’m not sure about the latter, but the former will be gone once Plasma 6.1 releases in about 3 weeks. Or if you’re using a different compositor, it could be gone already

They even used to be the best drivers, a long time ago when nobody cared about the graphics stack. Had ATI/AMD? You got the FGLRX proprietary driver and it was really bad.

12 years ago it was probably one of the least broken GPU drivers available. You actually got most of your GPUs capabilities.

Now with Intel and AMD going open-source, those are now the best drivers and NVIDIA is lagging behind and not keeping up with advancements in the Linux graphics stack. Hopefully the open driver and NVK catches up and brings everyone a good open-source NVIDIA experience so we can stop relying on the proprietary driver.

But it sounds like they've been shit?
