Ubuntu 24.10 Now Defaults to Wayland on Nvidia

  I can't express how pumped I am to get v555 of the driver. Haven't been this excited for something Linux related since I was about 17.

    What about this driver version has you excited?

      Not the OP but the longstanding issues with Nvidia on Linux desktop are largely fixed with more fixes coming in 560.

      The Nvidia 555 diver implements something called explicit sync, which fixes a bunch of issues people had when using Wayland: https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2024/04/05/explicit-sync.html https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2024/04/05/explicit-sync...

    Same, really looking forward to it. I enabled Wayland on my Pop 22 install last night and have set release notifications on the Pop Nvidia drivers GH repo specifically for this release, ha. Edit: Just noticed that the release (i.e. non-beta) version of 555 is actually likely to be tagged 560. So I guess it’s 560 I’m waiting for.

  Ubuntu lost me with their forceful Ubuntu One marketing (ads) within the system. However, this sounds quite interesting. Might reconsider spending some time disabling everything.
