NVIDIA 590 Linux Graphics Driver Enters Public Beta with Better Wayland Support
NVIDIA released the beta version of the upcoming NVIDIA 590 series of their graphics drivers for NVIDIA GPUs on Linux, BSD, and Solaris systems.
The NVIDIA 590 graphics driver series promises improved support for Wayland users by raising the minimum supported Wayland version to 1.20 and fixing a bug that prevented the PowerMizer preferred mode drop-down menu in the nvidia-settings control panel from functioning correctly on Wayland systems.
The NVIDIA 590 series also promises better support for Vulkan apps by improving the performance of recreating Vulkan swapchains, which helps prevent stuttering when resizing Vulkan application windows, and fixing several issues that prevented Vulkan apps from working on the Venus VirtIO virtual GPU.

What a nice fluff piece for NVIDIA. How does ditching users below 1.20 and fixing an issue in their own UI improve support for Wayland exactly?
I do wonder if ditching < 1.20 support just so happens to fix the drop down issue they were having in their UI....
RELEASE THE
