XPU stopped working after Houdini upgrade (605 to 653). May 9, 2024, 4:47 p.m.

I've just tested 20.0.702 daily build and it finally works fine without any manual fixes on my side. both GPUs detected properly and working.

Fedora 40 at the moment does not have x11 as I can see.
Tur there are ton of options to stay with x11 for a while, but I do also wanna have all the latest bells and whistles like working gaming and HDR support.. things that sort of will be implemented only in x11
Also I didn;t yet dig too dip but I did have issues with cintiw on wayland as well so there is that too.

I guess biggest issue for me personally is that I'm sort if in an limbo between OSs.
Window is.. well windows.. 11 is pile of crap that is getting worse every day, now adding adds even on top of paid system....

Linux is getting better on the other hand but still not there yet, killing x11 that is working but not moving forward at all, and waylaid that is moving but still doesn't work properly. And apps not supporting it yet as well...
Seems like with time OS and all this instead of getting netter is just getting messier

Sort of similar to Houdini honestly.. so many nice things ocmign with 20, but also most of them ar estill like developing.. APEX nowhere near to be production ready, Karma XPU getting there but sitl have a way to go.. takling mostly from user perspective not some tech developer Layout node for exmaple seems nice but there is so many things to desire there user experience wise... Anyway getting way from main topic.

What distro should you good people suggest for stable and solid work with nvidia and Houdini?
Centos was the way but as that one is killed.. yea this stream thing is not going to my comp... Rocky Linux?

Also testing fedora 40 on another small machine jsut to see how it goes.. I could no t get nvidia drivers wokring at all, tried both manual nvidia drivers install and rpmfusion mode.. no luck

Well it will become as every major distro is getting rid of x11 as development of it ended as well.
So why not look at it right away instead of waiting for flood gates to open?
Fedora 40 is wayland only, RHEL is following as well, along with every other major distro...
