      I’ve been really wanting to swap to a Wayland WM but I tried several of them and had numerous flickering and black screen issues. You would think nvidia would be catering more to Linux audiences since that’s where a lot of ML dev and training will be done

        Nobody trains on a GUI desktop though. Training is done on a cluster. And the kind of models that can be run on a consumer grade GPU… Nvidia doesn’t care about. They’re focused on selling 50k a pop cards to AI companies not fixing the Linux desktop for $600 card users.

        It’s pretty clear that Linux users should buy AMD or Intel GPUs if you want to support even a semi open source world

          I think no one super serious trains on a desktop but there are bunch of hobbyists that are going to start appearing as tools become more friendly and AI becomes more mainstream. It’s still a decent market and nVidia would do well to make their cards more friendly on Linux in general because it’s finally gaining some decent popularity.

    I’ll take it! Was experimenting with Wayland on Plasma yesterday on my 1080 TI. Still a bit glitchy. Some issues with wine (although it might be Plasma related). But it seems like slowly getting better. I’ll check it out with the new drivers once they are on Fedora and see what happens.

    Any idea if they’ve included GAMMA_LUT support to make Night Shift work?

    That’s about the only big thing missing for me, otherwise Nvidia drivers have been working pretty well with Wayland across my machines over the last year or so.

      I just tried night light in KDE Wayland with the 535 drivers and it does not work, so I am assuming GAMMA_LUT is not in the driver yet.

    It seems like I’m still having weird rendering issues, but at least it’s usable now and things aren’t just unusably invisible (most of the time). I have Gentoo and a GTX 1080.
