Well I'll be a son of a gun! Can confirms that works on CachyOS, too! For anyone wondering how to do it, on Cachy I simply added the line to the following file using sudo nano:

Now, if anyone can figure out how to make Houdini play nice with Nvidia drivers after 580, that'd be the last missing link for me. I managed to track down that it's an XID error 69 that happens when the UI freezes, but I haven't been able to figure out what to do with that information LOL.
I had to go back to 580.126.20... the newest 595.58.03 is a no go :-(.. UI freezes up too much.

Mouse Scrolling Issue March 12, 2026, 11:41 p.m.

Yeah.. it is how I am working now... using Qt5. There is another issue that I think might be related to all this. Even with Qt5, if I middle mouse click and hold on a parameter (1.0) for example, sliding left and right, it will skip to a huge number.

No updates... There is absolutely no Wayland support in Houdini. Possibly 21.5 or 22.0? This is just a guess.
