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.

Heh, I tried the NVK driver just out of curiosity and it worked better than proprietary driver for Wayland. I wonder if this update would make that level of smoothness.

NVK is great overall, for gaming eeeeh, no, sadly. I think it's getting improvements for vulkan gaming

But 555 beta is already much better than 550 on wayland

Well, I tried gaming but best it can do is mid-tier gaming. Still impressive though.

That's good to hear. Hopefully they release final version soon.
