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?

    That’s not what OP was asking for though. And I don’t understand why the Linux user community on Lemmy pushes immutable distros so hard.

      Why not? In my comment I explained exactly what benefits it would have in this case with a Nvidia GPU. I think it makes sense to at least mention the option.

      OP tried Bazzite and wasn’t the biggest fan of it, but not because it’s image based, no, just because it uses the same Nvidia driver as upstream Fedora.

      They could also have said that they really liked it, who knows?

      And I don’t understand why the Linux user community on Lemmy pushes immutable distros so hard.

      Because they’re awesome? They’re extremely low maintenance, just work (for me), are very robust, offer a lot of choice, and much much more.

      I think they’re very underrated and should be used much more. Sure, some people just don’t like them, but some people would, and those should know this option exists.
