I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn’t go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren’t actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

      For NVIDIA users, that’s the right answer. For AMD users, it’s already ready. No problems here (6700xt)

        Yeah, it was ready for my old AMD machine. My new Nvidia box…nah.

        But since I’ve switched to XFCE, I don’t need to worry so much about new-fangled things like Wayland…for now.

        All AMD here and I can’t have it as a daily driver. So many issues made me hate my PC. Back to X11.

            Plasma 6. I’m going through a very busy time at work at the moment. Once it’s done, I’ll just reinstall the whole system and see if that helps.

        On nvidia, there are still too many edge cases involving Wayland that are just crippled. Orca slicer doesn’t work for me for example, you are completely missing any of the 3d accelerated graphics in there.

        On the other hand, the AMD 7x00 series have different kind of bugs, with ring0 errors leading to full resets.

        I think once nvidia drivers are squared out (the proprietary ones) it will be smooth sailing.
