Nvidia users: *Chuckles* I'm in Danger

I tried Gnome with Wayland and an Nvidia card just yesterday, it worked fine so far with the proprietary drivers. NixOS not Fedora though.

I use Wayland on NixOS too and everything works fine except slight flickering in games.

I think it'll be fixed soon though and I can fully move to Wayland.

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

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

I though Nvidia was getting better

It’s horrible. My laptop with hybrid graphics works ok except for a brief flicker every time it wakes from sleep. It’s not a big deal. My desktop with dedicated nvidia is a hot mess - constant flickering. Steam is borderline non-functional and there are all kinds of graphical glitches on the desktop. I’m stuck with X11 on that machine.

@redcalcium @e8d79 The noVideo experience on Linux dramatically improved, especially with the latest driver versions and modern DIVORCE GPUs. We also kinda have to accept the death of X11

I sure hope so. Just the other day I updated to nvidia v550. Got a blank tty screen right after login to gnome/wayland. Rebooted the computer and login to gnome/x11, no issue. Logout and relogin to gnome/wayland, somehow no issue anymore. I guess this kind of random issues will persist until one day Nvidia decides to play nice with Wayland.
