From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know right! I thought it was something I did! You don't know how many times I've gone into the back of my monitor and tried to shove the HDMI cable in just a bit further, to no effect. I thought I'd broken it by trying to run Sway or something...
Nope, the driver is just that bad. Ughhh.
KDE is worse, but GNOME isn't great either. It's been going on for months! Additionally, I have "Prefer Maximum Performance" set, but it hasn't helped much. I've seriously been considering an AMD card next year... I have an RTX 2060S with 535.98.
Yep, I've just noticed that the "Prefer Maximum Performance" option hasn't actually done the trick 😮💨 I swear, its never simple with Nvidia...
It seems like this issue is finally, actually fixed with the new driver release.
I haven't had a chance to try it out but the responses on the thread look promising.
Edit: Ah, I see you've already gotten the news. Well, good to hear.
I appreciate the heads up either way, thank you!
