What distro supports this and Plasma 6?

[–] YaBoyMax 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apparently the version of Plasma that Fedora ships has the explicit sync patches backported from 6.1.

I tried Fedora KDE 40, it was hell to install the Nvidia drivers and it freezes randomly and when I play the screen goes black after some minutes and I have to restart.

https://neon.kde.org ? Not sure if it's received this patch yet, but it ships the latest version of KDE 6.

Doesn't support the Nvidia drivers, only Nouveau.

What? I'm using neon with Nvidia's v550 driver right now. I'll try switching switching to v555 driver as linked in OP via apt once it available through Nvidia's (compatible) debian repos for Ubuntu.

Will try. Thanks!

Nvidia driver installed but how to make it use it?
