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.

Yes, now is actually a pretty nice experience using Wayland with this driver
i've heard that one a few times before.
Some compositors haven't updated yet to my knowledge. I think KDE has something in the aur but not the wider release until their 6.1 release in June. I'm not 100% though
Not if you need color management. Anyone who creates anything could use color management.

YOOO!!
I can’t wait to get home for this! I’m going to try to use VRR again too, see how it plays with that.
Got home, it’s working really well. Like, I’m super pleased!
VRR still needs testing on my system. I know that there’s yet to be a fix for multi-monitor VRR. I still need to test with a single monitor, though.

I recently tried Wayland and it was not so pleasant experience. Guess I'll try again soon.
There was no sync at all in the last drivers, now we have good sync, it should be nice smooth experience once everything updates
Heh, I tried the NVK driver just out of curiosity and it worked better than proprietary driver for Wayland. I wonder if this update would make that level of smoothness.
NVK is great overall, for gaming eeeeh, no, sadly. I think it's getting improvements for vulkan gaming
But 555 beta is already much better than 550 on wayland
Well, I tried gaming but best it can do is mid-tier gaming. Still impressive though.
That's good to hear. Hopefully they release final version soon.
How can I update to this beta driver in Bazzite?
I think we Fedora users just have to wait for RPMFusion to roll out the updated driver. Not entirely sure if they only use Stable branch drivers or not though. I'm used to Arch where it would just be in the AUR within the hour...
I've been refreshing half the uBlue repos a lot today in the hopes there's some commits showing they're rolling the drivers out for Bluefin quickly 😂
Everyone so excited while I'm here sitting with gt1030 that most likely doesn't even support vrr
What's up with the Fedora font on the 'explicit sync' though? Hmmm...
Did they fixed the kernel panic problem that persisted in the last two versions? I don't dare to try it, last month their proprietary driver has almost destroyed my machine.
