Nvidia live image doesn't seem to load driver, runs in software rendering mode
So with the live ISO betas available, I downloaded the Gnome image so I could try it out without having to wipe and reinstall my system. The image was able to boot to the GNOME desktop, but I noticed there was no desktop effects and the refresh rate was locked to 60hz despite me having a 360hz monitor that works on my installed KDE setup.
Checking the Gnome settings and looking into the system info applet there, it seems the live session was reporting the GPU as a Software Renderer, not the RTX 4070 Ti Super that's currently in my system. Seems like that the live session doesn't load the Nvidia driver, which hurts the live image experience folks trying it out. Is this a bug, or is it a limitation of how the live session works?
