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.

Awesome Can't wait to have all the pieces in place for explicit sync. It will require the Nvidia 555 driver, right?
Correct
Been on 555 for a few days now, really stable under Wayland! Infos for Arch: https://gist.github.com/tgxn/6bcf093c879b95bb275794416c42afea
Are there guides for this in Fedora and Debian?
Nah, unfortunately I don't know how easy it is to run these packages on Debian/Fedora 😔 I only use Debian on my headless VMs, not for desktop environments.
Were you having any kernel panics before this beta?
I was having this issue https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/series-550-freezes-laptop/284772/163 I disabled the GPU for the time being and was hoping the new driver would fix.
Hmm, I was on 550 before upgrading, I was using x11 before upgrading to 555. Hadn't noticed any issues but vsync has definitely improves with 555.
I was experiencing with both X11 and Wayland. I'll give 555 a test. Thanks!
Hmmm I am on EndeavourOS and was just gonna wait a little longer, but now I am tempted to just push into the 555 beta. I mean, that's what btrfs snapshots are for amirite?
Happy to report that the 555 beta still just gives me a black screen before rebooting the computer. Though after a few attempts it did display some garbled Greg shit.
Yeah I have not got it to work on my computer either.
