What issues are you aware people have been experiencing?

I’m currently running 555.52.04 (this driver’s beta release) on F40 + GNOME Wayland and Firefox has been working flawlessly. Video playback using PiP has also improved a lot for me although IDK if it’s related to explicit sync or Wayland itself. Before installing these drivers I was using X and that feature would annihilate my desktop’s performance.


You can’t deny their support for Wayland has been steadily improving with the latest driver releases. In fact it’s already in a good state if it weren’t for the flickering in certain applications caused by these issues with explicit sync which are currently being addressed.


That’s true, but thankfully it’s already been merged in mutter and is underway in kwin.

The code for GNOME has already been merged, KDE has a merge request open for it too, Mesa also already has it merged in.


This [merge resquest](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967) has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!
