Open source driver based on vulkan using the zink opengl front would be really lovely.

Will be a long shot though, but we knew after nvidia open sourced it we're talking years not month for a proper open source driver. Depends on the backing, if there are companies backing the devs fulltime, that will be a way faster journey (Valve? RedHat?)

I still hope long run Nvidia goes the way of AMD and contributes / invests there too. But they took a long time even opening up a bit (most work seems still behind locked doors, must be a documentation and organizational hell keeping the issues and request and internal development synced)

It's a start, let's see what time brings. I appreciate the effort too.

Nouveau have done a good job actually getting something working, and we should all appreciate that. But that game has changed.

Quoting: benjamimgoisLast time i tried Wayland on nvidia (nobara) i got significant more stutering while playing games. It all goes away switching back to x11. Works fine for you ?

Pretty much, don't have stuttering issues at all on my config.

What's a specifig Gnome related issue is that in real windowed mode input (keyboard) causes stuttering, but that's for me on X and Wayland. Goes away with borderless fullscreen though, and probably a mutter issue. That's one thing which works on KDE (where I had a lot of wayland related issues to be fair).

Other than that I do not have any stuttering issues (currently playing Zero Dawn, Gods of War, M&B Bannerlord and Shadow of War, and sometimes BF5).

I do use Shader Pre-Caching, which may be relevant to that.

I'm actually running 515.76 pretty fine, I'm running wayland/xwayland though.

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070] driver: nvidia v: 515.76
  Display: wayland server: X.Org v: 22.1.3 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.3
    compositor: gnome-shell v: 43.0 driver: X:
    loaded: modesetting,nouveau,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,vesa
    gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch resolution: 1: 1920x1080~60Hz
    2: 1920x1080~60Hz
  OpenGL: renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA
    515.76

The issue is that it sometimes freaks out to a black screen and recovers again. Could be related, but maybe just be unstable xwayland on Nvidia (I ran Xorg in F36, switched to Wayland with F37).

Quoting: Mohandevir

Quoting: STiAT

Quoting: MohandevirIt would be really nice of them to "turn on" the standard bluetooth pairing for the Stadia controller, so we may use it elsewhere, wireless... It could make a fantastic AndroidTV controller for GeForce Now...

I thought that was a hardware limitation not just a limitation by the firmware.

Would be nice, I really like the controller.

Nope. The Stadia controller has a standard 4.2 bluetooth chip... It's only used for initial pairing, though.

Then I hope they change that, otherwhise the controller is just waste while it could still be perfectly used.

I doubt it though that there will be a single dollar more invested.

Hope is the last thing to die though. I even like the Stadia controller better than the Steam one (my wife prefers the steam one though, so it would be nice if I could use the Stadia one).

I am all in for Intel as another competitor.

But I think their hardware will need a few generations to really close up.

As well do the drivers. They do not have a good track record there. I hope this initiative will get them there.

Nvidia opened up considerably, AMD is great, and pressure from the Intel side will certainly help.

Quoting: SantojaYou can add the launcher to steam and play it using Proton, works great for heroes of the storm, I didn't try WoW

Works with WoW too, but proton had issues with the bnet app too these days.

Quoting: lionblaze55The Fedora beta has been great with Gnome 43, all my extensions have been working without issue as well! Loving the work being done with these projects.

I am getting crashes with the AppIndicator after lock screen for some reason. Or I think so since that disappeared after I disabled it.

Otherwhise it's so far pretty good. I dislike that they do not show the device for the audio output change (now I have two devices to switch to with the same name), but everything else seems pretty good.

Seems they did some work on switching windows too, some weired games as M&B Warband now actually appear when you click them in the preview (it runs real fullscreen, no windowed fullscreen option).

Quoting: KohlyKohlI just read some rumors that Intel cancelled their Arc dedicated GPUs already. Would be disappointing if they gave up already as I was looking forward to more competition in the GPU market.

Intel alteady pushed back on this rumor.

I would like them as a competitor in the GPU market, but they are far away to become one.

I think we'll probably see cards able to compete in the mid-higer levels in 5 years or further in the future.

Let's see if they have the will to that investment.

Quoting: Sojiro84...Ugh, now I gotta look at that ugly Gnome styled interface :sick:...

You get used to it. I thought it impossible too and now use Gnome for 6 month after I used KDE for the short period of 24 years. Mostly since it's simply better supported in Fedora than KDE (had issues there with KDE and display management and Discover).

I may go bsck to KDE once they figured out proper display management though. For some reason that is a headache since 2018.
