Been running Fedora 40 for a few months, and having a hard time keeping Wayland as the desktop environment. Just did a fresh install, and the Nvidia driver updates to 555.58.02. I really want to stick with the Recommended branch, not the New Feature branch. Every update, Wayland breaks. How do I rollback to 550, and switch to the Recommended Branch for updates?
Sorry for not replying sooner, life stuff.
I’ve had problems with the 555 driver like KDE’s lock screen would freeze for up to 30 seconds whilst trying to unlock and resuming from suspend resulted in a black screen.
So I went back to the 550 driver - I’ve uploaded the RPMs/SRPMs that I use; https://misc.lapwing.org/rpms/nvidia-550/
Please note this is just a dump of RPMs/SRPMs and not a repo, so it’s just a stop gap until 560 arrives and (hopefully) fixes my issues.
You will probably have to fight dnf a bit to get it to actually replace the 555 RPMs, but I’ve not had a recurrence and the akmod dance works just as jankily well as before.
