Awesome Can't wait to have all the pieces in place for explicit sync. It will require the Nvidia 555 driver, right?

Been on 555 for a few days now, really stable under Wayland! Infos for Arch: https://gist.github.com/tgxn/6bcf093c879b95bb275794416c42afea

Were you having any kernel panics before this beta?

I was having this issue https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/series-550-freezes-laptop/284772/163 I disabled the GPU for the time being and was hoping the new driver would fix.

Happy to report that the 555 beta still just gives me a black screen before rebooting the computer. Though after a few attempts it did display some garbled Greg shit.

Yeah I have not got it to work on my computer either.

Hmmm I am on EndeavourOS and was just gonna wait a little longer, but now I am tempted to just push into the 555 beta. I mean, that's what btrfs snapshots are for amirite?

Lots of genuinely useful things and tangible improvements to look forward to on this list. What a contrast with Windows announcements these days, which are full of features that are either trivial or user-hostile.

Nice. Does anyone else have laggy animations when shutting down their pc from the start menu? Or when messing with the toggles in the taskbar (like calendar)? Just all around laggy animations. Doesn’t bother me that much but curious if it’s a known issue

Whole lot of great improvements but the one that got me excited was "Support for syncing the color of your keyboard's RGB backlight with Plasma's accent color" hopefully it works with my keyboard. Since I moved to Linux I haven't been able to change the color from the default rainbow.

I'm already beta testing it. A solid improvement. Fixes a lot of long standing issues and makes quite a few existing features easier to use.
