  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

    Driving an AE86 apparently feels just like using wayland with NVIDIA (feddit.de)

    Tried running a 3080 Ti with (all KDE flavors of) Arch, Tumbleweed, Ubuntu, Fedora and Nvidia drivers, X11 works okay-ish but screen glitches galore in Wayland, GPU refuses to grab the output unless iGPU is blacklisted, etc. etc. Hardware video decoding on Firefox and other Chromium-based browsers simply refuse to work because Nvidia. I'm not going to use Nouveau since I'm using it for AI content generation.

    Switched to a 7900 XTX, reinstalled and haven't had a graphics-related issue thus far. ROCm is obviously in its early days but it should get better over time. A

    For those folks who are seeing zero issues with their Nvidia setup and crapping on others, check your driver variant with lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D)" and see if its Nouveau.

    It works just fine for me, I don’t have any issues.

    Whatever, apparently those people are fine with no VRR, don’t use software that exposes the lack of implicit sync, and don’t run 4k displays and try to run with fractional scaling.

    I’m so fucking sick of it when people say it’s just fine for them, as if to discount the multiple glaring issues that make it look like hell on Wayland. It’s like saying a car with misaligned tires is fine for them, because they never go over 25mph.

    I find it ludicrous that people are even suggesting "just use nouveau", when one of the big use cases for Nvidia GPUs is scientific computing / AI workflows and the mesa drivers are simply not an option. Buy a Ferrari? Just use it like a donkey cart and you'll be fine.
