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.

Don’t hold your breath just yet, it’s a step in the right direction but it’s far from being fully Wayland ready. I think the driver will only be fully ready some time after explicit sync protocol lands in Wayland (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/90)

I found CS:GO 2 stopped working after upgrade to driver v545 from v535. Anyone else noticed the same?

Known bug, NVIDIA says they are working on patching it by the next minor release:

My desktop would crash back to login screen after playing mass effect legendary edition. After exiting the game, if the desktop idle for a while, the moment the automatic screen off kick in, the CPU fan would whirl and if I wiggle the mouse, the desktop would immediately crash back to the login screen. Not sure whose fault it is, nvidia 545, EA, wayland or gnome.

I use an Nvidia laptop, and none of the issues I have with Wayland are from the GPU.

since we're sharing anecdotes... i have a desktop pc with an rtx2070 and ALL my issues are due to the gpu.

recently installed wlroots-nvidia from the AUR and it fixed the worst of it for now, but still getting glitches. i don't recommend Sway when you're on nvidia.

Night light will finally work! I hope fedora updates to it sooner than later
