NVIDIA 510.54 Linux Driver Released

[Myownfriend]

Well, of course there isn't. Who's even expecting NVIDIA to put a worthy upgrade anyway?

He was talking about driver upgrade not getting a new video card...

If you already have an Nvidia card then not upgrading the driver with bug fixes is just going to be worse.

[Myownfriend]

Your first mistake was installing Linux on it. Other than that NVIDIA works just fine.

Fan BOIIII!!!

You can always rely on birdie to universally shit on things in this community unless it's Nvidia or Intel. Then he's happy to sing their praises.

Wake me up when video acceleration and gsync work.

yeah actually work but...................................on X

work in wayland

They are fixing their driver for KDE Plasma?
LOL!
If it weren't for KDE Plasma to be so beloved and big and their developers to stand their ground against Nvidia's bullshit, there wouldn't be any GBM and Wayland support even today.
Congratulations to KDE developers for standing their ground against shitty behavior of Russia (Nvidia) when others bent over!
Now it would be nice if Nvidia would work on bringing HDR support for their users, it seems that AMD doesn't care too much about that.

LOL. Also, congratulation to KDE developers for standing their ground against climate change. If it wasn't for them we would still not have any renewable energy initiative or climate change. Oh, wait they also invented the wheel? Thank you, thank you, what would be the wold without KDE.

i even hit a more fatal bug, that i bought a laptop with nvidia gpu , that was biggest bug in my life

Weird, my Optimus(Prime) laptop works just fine on Linux for years at this point. Intel igpu+ Pascal NV dgpu, finished many games on it and still using.

Now, lets see if async reprojection (which is enabled by default in steam vr) still freezes my entire computer, every single time after using steam vr longer than 3 seconds. They haven't fixed that bug in many months

Reality check:

Color management: color mapping functions (groundwork for colour management & HDR support) by an AMD developer just landed in weston.

AMD developers also started discussion how to extend the KMS API colour LUT functionality for HDR. Meanwhile, the nvidia driver doesn't even support any of the existing KMS API colour LUT functionality yet, so things like Night Light or monitor profiles with colour correction don't work yet in a Wayland session on the nvidia driver.

Any pointers to work like this from an Nvidia developer?

Literally no one cares. "eventually" I'm sure.
Nvidia released yet another linux driver that works better than the last, AMD haven't even released a single driver that works (yet another "crashes on Ubuntu 21.10 with mesa radv (Radeon RX 6800)." landed only yesterday, one of hundreds over the last couple of years, compared to 2 or 3 on nvidia).

Dont you lot have some microsoft KB update to go complain about? Maybe they will listen to you screaming at the tide to stop rising. EVERYONE on linux I know that switched from nvidia to AMD (about 5 of them) sold their card at a massive loss within months, maybe when that trend actually follows NV you might actually have a point.

On the other hand, AMD cards happen to work better on Linux than on Windows.

Your second mistake was buying a laptop with a discrete GPU - they all suck even under Windows.

I might agree, but that's not the case. My previous Intel+NVIDIA laptop worked well under Windows, and with Bumblebee it also did under Linux.

Your third mistake was trying to look smug however it came off cheap and lame.

birdie this is why your reputation here is at floor level.

Careful.... calling him a fanboy automatically ticks him off to no end and will riddle the forum with some of the most elaborate insults and rants ever, starting a flamewar.
