[R-sig-Fedora] rstudio-desktop notes

[tim@t@yior m@iii@g oii hidde@eieph@@ts@co@uk]

Using Gnome. Details below.

gnome-desktop4.x86_64   42.0-1.fc36
rstudio.x86_64          2022.02.1+461-1.fc36
rstudio-desktop.x86_64  2022.02.1+461-1.fc36 
NVIDIA Driver Version:  510.60.02

I'll keep checking as things update over the next few days and let you know if it resolves itself:

Cheers

Tim

In Fedora 36 Beta under Wayland (and with the Nvidia driver) RStudio quickly becomes sluggish/non-responsive for me. I guess this could improve prior to release but thought I'd flag now in case useful.
