NVIDIA 580.142 released for Linux - the new recommended driver
11 Mar 2026 at 4:51 pm UTC

Quoting: princechmm but any news on the totally broken XFCE desktop compositor...? Anything later than 570 completely borks it.
This problem is not only on the XFCE. MATE desktop is broken too... :(

NVIDIA recommended driver 580.126.18 released for Linux
18 Feb 2026 at 5:37 pm UTC

Quoting: clatterfordslim
Quoting: princecThe latest drivers from Nvidia completely ruined my XFCE experience unfortunately, entirely breaking the compositor, which had to be turned off.
You have to turn the inbuilt v_blank off inside of xfwm to fix the screen flickering, after installing the newish 590.48.01 driver.
Here is the fix, unless you already know then ignore.
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -s off
Then reboot your system. Switch on Pipeline Composition in NVIDIA-Settings and you won't have any more problems.
Have you give any source for this fix?

Quoting: _wojtekWinBoat is super weird… and they still require windows licence so for me it's a huge "no-go" meh…
And installed full Windows in to the VM. And using Windows and apps over RDP is terrible user experience. It's so laggy and not smooth at all.

For Doom 3 (if it's BFG edition ?) there is also native Linux port/mod : https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG [External Link]
Unfortunately you need compile it from source but it works very good... ;)

GTA V Enhanced story mode works perfectly with SteamDeck=1 %command% launch options and Proton experiment since the release day. I do not have tryout online because I have not interested.

Yes, I do not have any flickering with this 545 driver and GTX1660 Super

Quoting: MohandevirI had to copy the claim link to get the included claim code and manually activated it in Stadia, just like Liam wrote... For some reason, the direct link refused to work.
This worked! :)
