Please let this be the fix I need to make Linux work with my hardware

Any idea how long it will be before this release reaches something like Bazzite?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can use Linux without Wayland, which is probably the root of your problem (I'm guessing).

Unfortunately, from the issues I've had, it sounds like I'm reliant on Wayland if I want to be able to use two monitors with different refresh rates.

Ah, well in any case, get those proprietary drivers installed, don't wait for your package maintainer!

[–] atocci 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Can I? I don't know how and I was told before that I can't update the driver on my own.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't, being among the first to install a new Nvidia driver version is a good way to get a system that doesn't display anything after being rebooted. I would wait a week or two before installing them (basically when they land in your distros repositories)

Thank you! If you don't mind, when it does land on Bazzite, how will I know and how do I update it then?

I have no idea about Bazzite but since it is based on Fedora Atomic, I would guess at around the same time as regular Fedora. I think realistically if there is a fix for the firefox issues under wayland, it should be there within 2-3 weeks
