SUMMARY With Wayland becoming the default, I think it's going to be increasingly important for the developers to see which version of the proprietary NVIDIA driver the user has. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch KInfoCenter (or open the info page in System Settings). 2. Copy the details in English for a bug report. OBSERVED RESULT Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070/PCIe/SSE2 EXPECTED RESULT Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070/PCIe/SSE2 (driver version: 545.29.06) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240223 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.7.5-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Not a fan of this. What is the driver version for non-nvidia?
That would be the Mesa version, which also sounds useful (also what inxi does)
Why the mesa version rather than the kernel module version?
Isn't that already known from the kernel version?
Not necessarily. kernel modules can have versions too
It's at least relevant for NVIDIA GPUs, and for non-NVIDIA I agree that the Mesa version is most relevant. If kernel modules could be relevant too, we could show both.
