couldn’t post as they’re still trying to escape their selfmade hell. /s

Entirely possible, dunno. And not like a 3090 is that new anymore either.

Basically all of the issues mentioned above have been mentioned in various threads over at nvidia’s forums, etc. So they’re not unknown, but kinda wild a released driver has all of these issues whereas the previous beta was seemingly unaffected - feels like someone was bit too triggerhappy to release an untested version to production.

It’d be nice if I could just drop the nvidia card and swap to amdgpu but… that’d require “a bit” of money so I could maintain same (or better) level of performance - and atm I just don’t want to spend that kind of money. :/

rtx3090, 5800x3d, wayland, sddm, kde:

• whole system freezes on boot (with somewhat garbled display) when display manager starts (sddm) - IF >1 displays are plugged in/powered on.
• no issues if sddm starts with one display, and THEN powering up second. - But this has to be done while in sddm, before logging in.
• whole system can (with high chance) freeze again on desktop if at any point a screens are connected/disconnected
• krunner works exactly once, after that it logs errors in journal that some display reference is wrong (the exact wording escapes me atm)

all these things were fine with 570.86.something - the previous version, which apparently was beta.

haven’t forked, no children. will neighbour’s do?

word. some devices just have angry machine spirits which just can’t be pleased.

unless you use cutting edge distro

yea well, “arch btw”. Haven’t had issues really, been running it for years on other systems but my gaming pc with nvidia is the only one with issues… because of course it does. :D

the penguin migration was going just fine, until nvidia 570.124.04 dropped, which is when the misery started. :|

Got to check if I can roll back to earlier version.
