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.

I tried out the beta version of 545 last week, I swear it made the render issue with XWayland apps worse. Even if it's back to the 535 state, it still makes using Wayland on Nvidia very difficult unless every application you plan to use is Wayland native. It'll be a while before that's the case for me.
I plan to just pick up a 6700 XT next week. I'm tired of being a second class citizen in Nvidia's eyes.
That being said, I appreciate the devs themselves who've been working on improving what they can (there's a couple that I've even seen participating in the Freedesktop GitLab). I assume the lackluster Linux support comes from the management side of things. I may not like the company, but I obviously don't have disdain for every single person there.
Same. A 7800 XT is on its way as we speak replacing my 2080 Super. I am just sick of Nvidia even though performance wise it wouldn't be necessary.
Ah very nice, a 7800 XT should be a fantastic upgrade (assuming my understanding of AMD's GPU lineup is correct, I can hardly keep up with Nvidia's as a "software" guy)! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it gets there quickly for you, and that the swap goes smoothly.
