NVIDIA has today released a fresh stable bug-fix driver with version 550.67 now available for Linux. So here's all the changes you'll find.

From the release notes:

  • Fixed a bug that could cause the GPU driver to hang when running some Vkd3d games, such as F1 2021.
  • Fixed a bug that caused eglExportDMABUFImageQueryMESA() to return invalid DRM formats for the images that use the sRGB color space.
  • Fixed a bug that caused wgpu applications to hang on Wayland.
  • Fixed a bug that caused "Flip event timeout" messages to be printed to the system log when the system is suspended without using /usr/bin/nvidia-sleep.sh when nvidia-drm is loaded with the `fbdev=1` kernel module parameter.
  • Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to ensure that the entire Display Configuration page can be used when the Layout window is shown.
  • Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to allow the primary display to be set on any GPU in a multi-GPU system.
  • Fixed Xid error when playing Alan Wake 2 with ray tracing enabled.

Did this update solve an issue you were having, or are you waiting on NVIDIA fixing something else?

On the subject of NVIDIA in case you missed it: the open-source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA hardware in Mesa, NVK, is now ready for prime time!

Quoting: Vortex_AcheronticOr Valve could finally move to support Wayland natively instead of relying on XWayland. That would solve the infamous flicker as well. It's super annoying nevertheless.
For me Plasma itself flickers often on Wayland, so it's not a problem of XWayland.
