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.

PSA: Nvidia drivers 580 broke gaming on sway / wlroots for me (lemmy.ml)

Gaming on Wayland, or more specifically sway WM, broke for me when updating to nvidia drivers version 580.

Reverting to 570 fixed the problem.

Card: Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti

What exactly happened: some games wouldn't launch at all (overwatch 2) while others had severe performance issues (Resident evil 5).

Those were the only two games I tried. Both ran through steam and Proton GE version 10.

Though I didn't test extensively, both games seemed to work fine on Xorg with nvidia drivers 580. So this confirms it's only problematic for Wayland.

Steam does not dictate what is standard on Linux. Just because they have not tested with this setup does not mean it isn't standard.

Dude...I'm not even eating my time with y'all who have zero clue as to how QA/CI/UAT works. It's such a waste of time.

Steam/Proton is only tested for KDE/GNOME, and that's it. Hands down. Not even up for fucking debate. It's a FACT.

You can read the docs, repos, GitHub Issues, forums, and everything else you want. That's the facts, and it's not going to change. Just because it's OSS doesn't mean they have all the time in the world to make sure your edge cases work FFS.
