I’m following the development on Github, but it’s still unclear to me when, if soon, 3.1.0 release is going to come to the testing channel. Any news?

It seems RPMfusion has dropped the 470 driver ( https://admin.rpmfusion.org/pkgd… b/package/nonfree/nvidia-470xx-kmod/ ). So, it may be time to switch to negativo17 for nvidia.
@KyleGospo and I have previously discussed this. The negativo17 packaging allows more granular installation of only desired components. For example, in [ucore](https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore) I already use negativo17 as it allows only installing `nvidia-driver-cuda` which is just the driver and CUDA support, as is proper for a server. RPMfusion's package pulled in all of Xorg and Wayland. In addition, negativo17 provides a `cuda-gcc` package to aid users needing (nvidia's CUDA does not yet support GCC 14 which is current in Fedora).
We were not keen to move to negativo17 before now, but because they only package the latest drivers, while we were using both latest and legacy 470 drivers from RPMfusion.
With RPMfusion's orphaning of the 470 package, I believe we should now move to negativo17. This will mean dropping the 470 driver... but it's orphaned upstream, so I unless we want to maintain the package, I don't think we can continue providing it in good conscience.
I'll prep the appropriate PRs for this.
Last update 3 weeks ago. Recent blogpost mentioned 3.1 release of Bazzite including 555 driver. Does that effort have anything to do with this Github topic?

Yeah, the github issue needs to be completed so that bazzite can inherit the 555 driver.

will 555 resolve the Wayland and pipeline issues ?
currently running 550.78 on old GT1030 flawlessly

Do we have any movement on this ticket, or help we could supply to help it move?
Btw the nvidia 555 driver is currently in testing tags. It’s working very well for some and not so well for others. Feel free to try it out and give your feedback.

Where is feedback submitted?
Everyone has been mostly putting all the feedback in this Discord help ticket https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1253638858940092500
If you don’t use the Ublue discord, you could probably make a new thread “Nvidia 555 Beta driver feedback” on here.
