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.

    I have seen reports of Firefox crashing under Wayland and that the way to make it work was to disable Wayland in Firefox or iirc to add a kernel parameter. Maybe it was fixed in Firefox too, but I saw some people saying the flatpak was somehow now affected (?)
