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

[–] sirsquid@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Stable.

[–] EccTM@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] sirsquid@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years 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.

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, thankfully that was resolved with this update.

[–] zoomshoes@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Good stuff! That was getting really annoying.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So, can we finally switch to Wayland?

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Bandicoot_Academic@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.
