NVIDIA driver 545.29.02 out for Linux plus other releases due to security issues

You wont be getting any improvements because it's not even in the 545 drivers yet.
To get access to that functionality, you will need the October 24th, 2023, Linux 535.43.15 driver and a version of vkd3d-proton master from commit 8829062 on-wards. So any compiled version of vkd3d-proton from the 27th october onwards.

Quoting: ExpandingManSupposedly although Starfield runs on 545 (in contrast to 535), it is getting rather poor performance, and supposedly that is still a driver problem. Considering that sort of thing is not entirely uncommon, and that e.g. the vkd3d devs can't go in, look at the driver code, and open an issue with nvidia describing exactly why they believe there is a bug, I'm feeling pretty annoyed with nvidia lately. Unsurprisingly.VK_NV_device_generated_commands_compute is still being developed in the vulkan beta drivers branch and has not been added to the New Feature Branch yet.

The official unity bla unity runtime fee [External Link]
Third parties who publish or distribute the Unity Runtime on behalf of creators are responsible for paying the Unity Runtime Fee. Creators and these third parties remain obligated to pay the Unity Runtime Fee until the payment is verified.States the user is liable to pay the fee if 3rd party does not, considering 3rd parties can't be forced to accept this agreement payment rests solely on the developer.

Put it on the desktop and laptop today, only the desktop mode works for me (nvidia desktop and old intel laptop)
But it works super stable in x11 plasma desktop.
You can install things like heroic and discord normally without flatpaks.
nvidia isn't the easiest to get going but, its not too bad.
Instructions for install and x11 plasma desktop with nvidia
It gives two options to install,
neptune and core/linux
core/linux option 2 is the way to go.
It'll have a prompt after loading in selection saying type holoinstall to install.
you then enter the drive you want to install too, after some basic installation it'll ask for computer name, user name and password then continue the installation.(internet connection is required for this, downloads 4-5~ gigs)
On next reboot go into grub (hold shift after bios screen if it doesn't show up)
there will be 3 options to load
Steamos should be the top one.
Press c or e (i forget which it is, its listed on the screen use your eyes) to do a one time boot edit.
there will be a line that looks like this.
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux-neptune root=UUID=d22fd341-dfca-4769-875c-05ef50eb3782 rw loglevel=3 quiet
change it too
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux-neptune root=UUID=d22fd341-dfca-4769-875c-05ef50eb3782 rw loglevel=3 nomodeset=1
in other words remove the quiet and put nomodeset=1 at the end
the quiet is removed so you can see where it stops loading.
When it stops loading, hold control + alt and press F2 to open a new user session in terminal.
login as the user you added during installation.
install the kernel headers.
sudo pacman -S linux-neptune-headers
this is for taste as it works. install nvidia with TKGs nvidia all from github
cd /goto/some/folder/you/want/to/put/some/git/stuff
git clone https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all.git [External Link]
cd nvidia-all
makepkg -si
#it will complain about kernel headers during the process a few times ignore it, it still finds them.
During the install process pick the nvidia driver you want, make sure you pick DKMS driver module.
nvidia should now work, you will ONLY BE ABLE TO USE THE DESKTOP x11 plasma.
Edit: Kdesudo doesn't seem to work unless you change the root users password
sudo passwd root
enter then re enter the new password
gui root should now work properly
Restart your pc, at the login screen, top left should be the desktop select drop down, select the x11 plasma desktop option.
your good to go. have fun if you want to have a crack at it.

To patch patch both libnvidia-encode and -fbc, unless nvidia massively changes their drivers, so far it has worked on each driver release.
same as the other one though.
