This has been addressed for a while as part of the packaging so that VT’s work with the proprietary driver.
This was probably the most helpful information you uploaded from your original post here in July:
From it, I found this (which is more helpful than works on distro “X” or sysinfo gathered when the .run
file is installed):

I realize the process is probably frustrating and no one likes it when their stuff doesn’t work. If you could please refrain from hijacking other posts because yours autoclosed:
@ben79 worked very hard at trying to get information from you to address the issue you were having in your first post. Everyone here is volunteering their free time to this project. Please remember that.
Since I package the driver, I have made other devs aware of the issue you are having and if we can reasonably resolve it, we will try to. The nature of proprietary drivers is that the source code is closed. Wayland is also very unstable and adding nVidia proprietary drivers is always going to complicate that.
There are currently the following resolutions we can offer:
- Use X11 and forego the eye-candy (i.e. No Transparency Blur on Kvantum themes)
- Use the
.run
file and maybe have the eye-candy - Use a distribution that works out of the box
OM 5.0 may also work if you wanted to install that and report your findings.
One last piece of genuine advice I can give you is to ask when you don’t know how to do something. If you don’t want that immortalized on a forum, you can ask us in our Matrix chat:
We need the right information to help properly and it will help reduce frustration while also giving you more knowledge.
