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.

I know NVIDIA on Linux is somewhat bad, but this bug has been driving me insane, and it is still not fix as of 535.104.05 my screen flicker even more than the last driver update
I hope this get fix in 540 drivers updates or later, but I'm getting an AMD GPU when I get to build my PC very soon.
I've been waiting on this issue the day it was posted... It doesn't bother me as much as I have a second vertical monitor so the flashing is at the edge of the vertical one, and it's definitely reduced but not gone away. Coupled with these recent driver updates, my X server just gets slower over time (not in game, thankfully).
Nvidia doesn't even have to go FOSS, they can just go OS, and this issue could probably be resolved by now due to increased transparency of what the f is going on with the drivers, as well as better collaboration between kernel developers and driver developers. Who knows what they're attempting behind the curtains, 3+ releases since this bug was filed and still not fixed.
A genuine fuck you, Nvidia.
Well, nouveau should support reclocking pretty soon and the Nvidia NVK open source Vulkan implementation is progressing nicely.
can't wait!!!!
