From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They’re so done with NVIDIA they don’t even have the energy to attack them on a forum anymore

Surely they didn't mention multi-monitor VRR support because the work for that is already done and just about to arrive in the next beta driver any day now, right?

I've worked around the issue with an AMD iGPU, but still.

Isn't this already a thing on Wayland?

You can enable it, but it just won't work when more than a single monitor is connected to an Nvidia GPU.

Right now the only workaround other than turning off secondary monitors while gaming is connecting all but one monitor to an iGPU, assuming you have one.

As far as I know Nvidia has recently confirmed that they can reproduce the issue, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
