The update to Nvidia's 590 drivers just blew up GPU acceleration on my Bazzite install, so now every window visual effect is blank and I get errors in desktop accelerated software all over the place.
Today is not the day to poke me on "SMASHING" anything. I'm only typing this from Windows because I needed to get work done, so I can't spend the day playing the "tweak Linux until it works" videogame.
Can't you just rollback? I haven't done this myself, but rolling back should be a strong suit of an atomic system like bazzite.
Yeah, I could and I probably will, but not today and not until I don't have to do work.
That's the "tweak Linux until it works" game I don't have time to play right now. Even if it works first time, and there's no guarantee that it will.
Also, the last working Nvidia drivers for me are absolutely ancient. And GPU drivers on a gaming distro aren't a works/doesn't work thing. There are entire features and per-game optimizations significantly impacting performance enabled on each version. You want to be on the latest drivers.
Yeah I get that, a gaming system in particular should just work™. Luckily bazzite has been good to me in that regard, but I'm also using an AMD card - sorry to hear about your troubles.
