When the first beta 550 came out I was testing the driver and the laptop sometimes froze randomly. I didn’t know what was causing it until I went back to the 545 drivers and it was fixed. I thought it would be a problem because they were beta but no. It also happens to me with the stable version. W…

We have fixed a memory corruption issue specific to notebooks recently and request you to please test with driver 550.107.02 and share test results. https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/550.107.02/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.107.02.run

In my case driver 535.171.04 does not work properly in kde6 with external monitor via nvidia hdmi port on wayland session. When external monitor plugged and graphical windows are in this monitor after some time kwin_wayland procces restarts with “many open files” error, because kwin_wayland gene…
