Hurray!

Awesome Can’t wait to have all the pieces in place for explicit sync. It will require the Nvidia 555 driver, right?

dinckelman@lemmy.world on 24 May 2024 19:45 next collapse

Correct

tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net on 25 May 2024 05:12 collapse

Been on 555 for a few days now, really stable under Wayland! Infos for Arch: gist.github.com/…/6bcf093c879b95bb275794416c42afe…

Were you having any kernel panics before this beta?

I was having this issue forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/…/163 I disabled the GPU for the time being and was hoping the new driver would fix.

tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net on 25 May 2024 07:07 collapse

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.

zerakith@lemmy.ml on 25 May 2024 07:10 collapse

I was experiencing with both X11 and Wayland. I’ll give 555 a test. Thanks!

Are there guides for this in Fedora and Debian?

tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net on 25 May 2024 13:08 collapse

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.

redbr64@lemmy.world on 25 May 2024 15:27 next collapse

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.

0oWow@lemmy.world on 25 May 2024 22:58 collapse

Yeah I have not got it to work on my computer either.

Interstellar_1@pawb.social on 24 May 2024 20:07 next collapse

Nice changes!

Mazoku@lemmy.ml on 24 May 2024 22:54 next collapse

Nice. Does anyone else have laggy animations when shutting down their pc from the start menu? Or when messing with the toggles in the taskbar (like calendar)? Just all around laggy animations. Doesn’t bother me that much but curious if it’s a known issue

mitrosus@discuss.tchncs.de on 25 May 2024 04:20 next collapse

I also see delayed response in displaying shutdown options.

MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml on 25 May 2024 04:47 next collapse

Is your cache folder on a hdd?

Mazoku@lemmy.ml on 25 May 2024 12:07 collapse

No everything is on an nvme ssd

zerakith@lemmy.ml on 25 May 2024 06:55 collapse

Me too. Noticeable Delay around 6s.

floofloof@lemmy.ca on 25 May 2024 02:20 next collapse

Lots of genuinely useful things and tangible improvements to look forward to on this list. What a contrast with Windows announcements these days, which are full of features that are either trivial or user-hostile.

tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net on 25 May 2024 05:05 collapse

Oh yeah, just adding a toolbar here, some ads in the start menu there. Sprinkling of user tracking and cloud account for local login. 🤣

Fizz@lemmy.nz on 25 May 2024 16:25 next collapse

Whole lot of great improvements but the one that got me excited was “Support for syncing the color of your keyboard’s RGB backlight with Plasma’s accent color” hopefully it works with my keyboard. Since I moved to Linux I haven’t been able to change the color from the default rainbow.

MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml on 26 May 2024 06:41 collapse

Have you tried using openrgb?

Fizz@lemmy.nz on 26 May 2024 19:44 collapse

Thanks I just tried it out and it worked. I can finally use my rgb.

MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml on 27 May 2024 05:23 collapse

No problem!

D_Air1@lemmy.ml on 26 May 2024 21:20 collapse

I’m already beta testing it. A solid improvement. Fixes a lot of long standing issues and makes quite a few existing features easier to use.
