Hi everyone,

Fedora is by far my favourite Linux distro, I love it.

The problem is that I use often Blender with Nvidia drivers, and it keeps crashing all the time, especially since I updated to Fedora 43. I don’t know wheter is Wayland or the fact that I have hybrid driver (Radeon CPU+ Nvidia GPU)…

I’m aware that Wayland will be the future of Gnome and it will be fully supported in one year or two, but I’m wandering if I have to switch to a distro with an available Xorg session in the meantime to use Blender properly.

Do you have any idea?

Thank you in advance,

Below my configuration:

Blender 5.0 is due to hit F43 soon. You might like to test with 5.0.
