Do you run a Linux distribution with KDE Plasma 6 with a Wayland session and with the proprietary Nvidia driver installed?

Does it cause issues?
- like crashes, flickering, black screens, etc?

If yes, what type of distribution are you using?

Verwendet ihr unter Linux KDE Plasma 6 als Desktop mit einer Wayland Session und habt den proprietären Nvidia Treiber installiert?

Gibt es damit Probleme?

- wie Abstürze, Flickern, schwarze Fenster, etc?

Falls ja: Welche Art Linux-Distribution verwendet ihr?

99% of the time, my main desktop/linux machine is working fine.

The rest of the time, I'm using 'Nvidia' as a perjorative.

Case in point: I get a notification I need to reboot my machine, due to a critical update. It's rare these pop up w/ livepatch, but not unheard of, and it takes like 30 seconds to reboot anyhow. Not exactly a big thing, I'll be back up and running in a jiff. No problem right?

Reboot finishes, and I'm at 1024x768, on a single monitor. None of the others. Fucking-

Okay, let's see. Maybe there's some package updates? Yep. A whole lot of 'libnvidia' packages need updating. It's about 600 megs. (At least it didn't take down networking this time so I didn't need to drop back to a previous kernel loadout.) Let it run. On a lark, reboot again. Everything is back as it was.

Goddamnit, Nvidia. I love telling people to game on linux, but shit like this *really* damages my enthusiasm.

need help form fellow #linux gamers again

i am trying to play death stranding through heroic games launcher (got it on epic for free) with my ds5 controller, which i wanna use its unique features with. i am on kde plasma with wayland and i know that for games on steam i have to use "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" for adaptive triggers and stuff to work but on hgl it does not seem to do anything and the game just does not recognize my controller.

for my distro i am on arch btw

I finally got my #Ubuntu desktop upgraded! I went from a first generation Intel Core i3 with 16 GB of RAM, to a fancy new motherboard and an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 1700 with 64 GB of RAM.

I also replaced my measly Nvidia video card with 2 GB of RAM to a pretty decent GeForce GTX1650 with 6 GB of RAM.

@Viss I can FINALLY play Half-Life 2 at native resolution on my big monitor! :blobbounce:
