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.

Those who are using Nvidia's driver 555, what's your experience in Wayland so far? Those who are using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR in Wayland? (lemmy.ca)

I currently have an AMD video card (6700 XT) and Wayland support is excellent. Also, multi-monitor support in Wayland works perfectly.

So what's your experience with Nvidia's 555 driver in Wayland? Those using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what's your experience with multi-monitor VRR? I ask about VRR because I heard that multi-monitor VRR in Wayland is still problematic.

This is for my own curiosity if an Nvidia video card could be considered as an upgrade option.

Multi monitor VRR has never been problematic in Wayland, but the NVidia kernel driver doesn't support it at all yet, Xorg or Wayland doesn't matter.

Indeed. I have an AMD video card and multi-monitor VRR works beautifully in Wayland. But unfortunately, according to some replies (and yours), Nvidia doesn't support it yet.
