No, I'm not wanting to go back to X11. > Unfortunately, the NVIDIA 495 driver series was the first to support Wayland properly, with full support starting with the 555 series (Wayland and XWayland apps) with Plasma 6.1. The 470 driver series is now fully EOL by NVIDIA, and all hardware covered by it is now fully unsupported. Your two choices at this point are: * Nouveau (which works on hardware covered by 470 driver) * New hardware I don't know if this is for a laptop or desktop, but if it's the latter, you should consider a new graphics card. If it's the former, you should invest in a new computer, as any laptop that uses hardware only covered by the 470 driver is more than 12 years old. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
