Don’t hold your breath just yet, it’s a step in the right direction but it’s far from being fully Wayland ready. I think the driver will only be fully ready some time after explicit sync protocol lands in Wayland (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/90)
"hey here's news. Maybe. I can't actually tell you. It's just what I was told. This hasn't been relevant to me since it once was. But here's a blog post about it. I like cheese."
- Your point being?
  
  Really weird article. A bunch of snarky comments from the author that add nothing to the conversation. "It's been a decade since I touched an Nvidia card, so I'm just giving you the info I read in a changeling. Couldn't tell you if it was true or not, so fuck you!"
I found CS:GO 2 stopped working after upgrade to driver v545 from v535. Anyone else noticed the same?
- Known bug, NVIDIA says they are working on patching it by the next minor release:

- My desktop would crash back to login screen after playing mass effect legendary edition. After exiting the game, if the desktop idle for a while, the moment the automatic screen off kick in, the CPU fan would whirl and if I wiggle the mouse, the desktop would immediately crash back to the login screen. Not sure whose fault it is, nvidia 545, EA, wayland or gnome.
Is it usable with hybrid graphics in a laptop yet? I've heard about horrible battery drain and sleep issues before.
I use an Nvidia laptop, and none of the issues I have with Wayland are from the GPU.
- Really?
- since we're sharing anecdotes... i have a desktop pc with an rtx2070 and ALL my issues are due to the gpu.
  
  recently installed wlroots-nvidia from the AUR and it fixed the worst of it for now, but still getting glitches. i don't recommend Sway when you're on nvidia.
Night light will finally work! I hope fedora updates to it sooner than later
