Cool! I was wondering when Nobara would update. I heard there are a few bugs in the new Nvidia driver though.

Well I can't get an iso off of their own website to work so... Cool?

I've installed it on 2 computers recently without problem....

I've had very bad luck trying to ditch windows. I've been through 6 or 7 different distros trying to find one that works properly with my pc. Somehow I've landed on open suse? That one seems to be cooperating, for the most part, for now. This whole experience has really showed me that Linux doesn't "just work" for normal people though, and anyone who is adamant about that doesn't understand the general populations capabilities.

What kind of issues are you facing?

Do you have exotic hardware? Like high refresh rate monitors?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I would hardly consider high refresh rate monitors to be exotic. They're quite common.

I wonder what distros they tried though. Considering this is a thread on Nobara I wouldn't be surprised if they had issues with the variety of gaming distros available

I went through Ubuntu, Nobara, manjaro, mint, pop, Ubuntu again, and landed on open suse. I have no exotic hardware. My biggest issue was the pc going into hibernate and then never coming back. The secondary issue was getting certain games on steam to work and an Xbox controller. I seem to have all of that licked with suse and some tinkering. The battle I'm having now is when the pc goes to sleep/hibernate/whatever sometimes it completely forgets it's monitor settings and I have to turn the second monitor back on and then change them from 200% back to 100%. Which I thought I had solved by messing with the monitors.config file but I guess not...

Asus rog m16 laptop if that helps any.

This driver is still beta, right? I'm not seeing release binaries on Nvidia's site. Just making sure I'm not missing anything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's still in beta indeed.

What are the new features?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Explicit sync support which fixes flickering for NVIDIA users at high frame rates and VRR enabled.

Can I also get it on fedora ?
