      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.

        I see. Then it’s possible that it doesn’t affect older cards. I have GTX 1660Ti and haven’t seen a problem, yet. However I do remember I had to downgrade Nvidia (on tty) a couple years back because it borked my system completely.

          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. :/

            Yeah, it’s possible. This is not the first time they did this, probably won’t be the last. Though they solve the issues relatively faster comparing to years ago. That’s something.

            I’m in the same boat but I’ll most likely use this card until it’s dead or really old. I cannot imagine how the people think about that email they got from Microsoft.
