The time is finally here. The next big stable update to the NVIDIA proprietary driver for Linux with version 555.58 bringing Wayland Explicit Sync.

Following on from the initial NVIDIA 555.42.02 Beta and the 555.52.04 Beta, NVIDIA noted some rather vague “Minor bug fixes and improvements” since the last Beta. With this release, you should be truly good to go with Wayland on NVIDIA GPUs now.

    What issues are you aware people have been experiencing?

    I’m currently running 555.52.04 (this driver’s beta release) on F40 + GNOME Wayland and Firefox has been working flawlessly. Video playback using PiP has also improved a lot for me although IDK if it’s related to explicit sync or Wayland itself. Before installing these drivers I was using X and that feature would annihilate my desktop’s performance.
