Way to stay on Nvidia 550 w/ Fedora 40? (lemmy.today)

Been running Fedora 40 for a few months, and having a hard time keeping Wayland as the desktop environment. Just did a fresh install, and the Nvidia driver updates to 555.58.02. I really want to stick with the Recommended branch, not the New Feature branch. Every update, Wayland breaks. How do I rollback to 550, and switch to the Recommended Branch for updates?

I personally think X11 shouldn't be used anymore. Fedora dropped official support for it recently iirc and it will soon be deprecated, so it might be even worse in the future.

Wayland works perfectly fine under Gnome from what I've heard, and with Plasma, it should be working great too.

I agree, but I'm not going to force my opinions on someone. They can make their own informed decisions, and if they're having regular trouble with Wayland, maybe they can have a better experience with another option!

Yeah, I'm ready to be done with X11. Dunno why Fedora with a perfectly working Wayland & Nvidia and updates set to manual will not offer Wayland in the session manager at login about 80% of the time. Must be something I'm doign wrong, but IDK what it is. I wish I had wayland 100% of the time o'er here.
