Is this a stable 545 release, or just another point release for the 545.23.06 beta?

Nvidia has this classed as a "New Features Branch" release, as opposed to a "Production Branch" release, so... Beta?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

No, it's a Stable driver. Production and New Feature are both Stable branches.

I can't wait to try it with Wayland and Steam.
I mainly play games with my Linux PC.

Does this still have the top of screen flickering issue I, and many others, are having? I had to roll back from 5.35 to 5.25 to make it stop.

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

No, thankfully that was resolved with this update.

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

Good stuff! That was getting really annoying.

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

So, can we finally switch to Wayland?

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

If you don't use any XWayland apps, yeah - this is still a major blocker unfortunately assuming they didn't make any significant changes between the beta from a couple of weeks ago and now.

Thanks for the reply. I guess there is still some time for me. :)

so is my pop os have this in their repos eventually? I'm a noob with all this. Linux gaming works so far on pop os and heroic launcher so I don't want to mess anything up. feel like it's jenga

Yes PoP OS is going to update the driver in their repos to this versions. Unless you realy want the new driver just wait the few days/weeks it will take for it to arrive in the official repos

Still an amazingly absolute mess. Good try.
