A daily reminder: Fuck NVIDIA
Nvidia was worth $1,030,000,000,000 today, but still can’t get their drivers in the kernel.
And it’s not because Linux has 1% marketshare, because Nvidia still bends over backwards to get their drivers working on Linux for ML training

tbf that valuation is not really realistic IMO, the ps ratio (valuation divided by income) is 31 , when the average is about 2.4. Its probably overly enthusiastic nvidia customers paying that kind of price. if everybody decide they want to sell all their nvidia shares , $1,030,000,000,000 probably won’t be the price.
If they do something , they need to have a business case for their shareholder saying it helps profits (stuff like pension funds and mutual funds, Jensen Huang the ceo and founder reportedly owns 3.6% so he can still get fired).
If they spent X money (say in term of engineering hours) they need to expect a profit of at least somewhere around 1.1x.
TL;DR buy AMD, or at least threaten them you won’t buy nvidia.
Fixed the infamous issue of Panels visually freezing in the Plasma Wayland session
OH MY GOD I CAN RETURN TO WAYLAND. perfect
Nice, cant wait to have this
Oh thank gosh! Will certainly be happy to see that.
Now if only I could find a way to fix the weird rendering issue that happens with Electron apps… and by a similar nature, screen sharing in Discord (on a whole screen-basis, rather than just only XWayland apps). Couldn’t get that to work even with
xwaylandvideobridge. But, those aren’t KDE specific issues.I’m looking forward to the day I get to eventually just move off of Nvidia hardware.

I accidentally ordered my Nvidia card. I had the one I’d been recommended open in a tab so I could compare AMD cards to it and ordered the wrong one! Instead of doing what I should have done and returning it and ordering the AMD, I thought how bad can it be? Well now I know!
Thank God this bug has been so fucking annoying!!
Indeed, I have to run Alt-space “plasmashell --replace” almost hourly.
Overall I’m happy with NVidia+Wayland except for this bug, but it has been quite bothersome.
Interestingly the bug have also been seen on AMD GPU, thus why the title is " Plasma panel visually (but not functionally) freezing on Wayland with Basic render loop and Non-Intel GPU when Task Manager previews are turned on".
