Really excited they finally fixed the issue with plasmoids making the shell freeze. I've had an email exchange about it with them for a bit

I’m excited to give it a shot when I get back to my desktop!

ooh, shiny.

Can't wait until my distro gets this to stable repos. I don't have issues atm with 555.whatever version, but seemingly the 560 version does have quite a bit of fixes and improvements.

Anybody in the know if the gsp is usable / actually offers some benefits in the new version?

offers a small improvement over the last version but does not address the majority of the issues keeping Nvidia from fully working on Linux

wayland is still broke on Nvidia

how is it broken? Genuinely asking because my home system is using wayland (kde/plasma too) and works just fine with nvidia with the 555 driver, the previous drivers did have all kinds of stutters admittedly.

edit: mainly using the system for media playback (youtube, videofiles, audio files) and gaming
