I currently have an AMD video card (6700 XT) and Wayland support is excellent. Also, multi-monitor support in Wayland works perfectly.

So what’s your experience with Nvidia’s 555 driver in Wayland? Those using it in conjunction with KDE 6.1, what’s your experience with multi-monitor VRR? I ask about VRR because I heard that multi-monitor VRR in Wayland is still problematic.

This is for my own curiosity if an Nvidia video card could be considered as an upgrade option.

    I don’t use VRR, but I meet the rest of your criteria

    Electron apps were the biggest pain pont - I would be typing in discord and there was noticeable lag and letters would disappear until I have several characters beyond them. I worked around this by using discord on their website in a browser tab.

    Not sure which update resolved this, but it’s now working as I expect it to, so I think if you choose to use a Nvidia GPU, you should have an okay time. I would just say to consider a beefier AMD GPU as well, since they tend to have much better driver support in Linux

      The input lag and flickering on Electron apps was fixed with the explicit sync drivers.
