If you're still on X11. Krohnkite didn't support Wayland all that well last time I checked.
Makes sense. I am using Bazzite, and while it uses Wayland by default, I saw that some games refuse to run on Wayland (F.E.A.R 2 in my case). So I just went back to X11.
I want to like Wayland but it's making it difficult for me. Oh, I am using Nvidia, so that could be a reason as well.
Heh, I was confused because I switched full-time to Wayland a while ago and that was never an issue for any game... but then you mentioned Nvidia. RIP
I saw they switched recently to partially open source drivers, so hopefully it's gonna be better for you soon.
I got this card for free so didn't really have a choice. My next purchase will highly be an AMD GPU, unless Nvidia does some magic (which I highly doubt)
Only the kernel module is open source, and it's just a wrapper for closed source blobs.
In actuality the open source drivers just kill all support for the 10 series, and otherwise do nothing to fix Nvidia's utterly fucked up driver problems.
@quarterlife @sanpo About Nvidia's gpus being proprietary and shit... I'm on AMD because, well, there's no alternative. Still, I'm struggling with most FOSS AI being developed specifically for Nvidia. That's non-sense. Develop FOSS for non FOSS-hardware.
