Nvidia driver 555 causing apps to crash and kde lag

With this new driver I believe it has brought more problems then solutions. Gnome software is freezing on every app install. When I switch back to the integrated gpu its fine. I switched from kde to gnome to see if its better because kde was very laggy with the animations being slow, window previews were black. Firefox is crashing (i know the fix) also random apps are just slow or crashing. Is there a way to install the 550 driver?

KDE is really very laggy so far with the new driver, I switched to Gnome because of that. Aside from Software and Firefox crashing everything is behaving fine for me

You can rollback to the previous builds I think, not sure if the key issue from #announcements still affects this

bazzite-rollback-helper list should offer some stable builds Choose some build from before 3.5.0 (https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1074438180847239279/1257086738925359194) then bazzite-rollback-helper rebase <build> should work
