Is it just me, or are you folks running Wayland with no issues? I’ve even forgotten I was on Wayland until I looked at the settings the other day. I have all AMD, btw. I have zero issues so far. Anyone else?

    Yes, Plasma 6 was the turning point for me, since it introduced pixel-perfect fractional scaling on Wayland for just about every application.

    I would say it’s mostly smooth except for a few annoyances like lots of apps not displaying icons correctly in taskbar or taskswitcher but a standard Wayland icon.

    AMD cpu, nvidia gpu, running tuxedo os. i’ve had one issue and it was warthunder and enlisted not capturing the cursor correctly. this is caused by those games supporting linux natively but not having wayland support yet. no other games have done this for me so far.

    I have been using Sway for ~2 years now without issues. AMD CPU and GPU. I am not super particular about input lag and stuff, but I haven’t noticed any issues.

    I have a VM that runs windows for my work stuff and it has no issues I play video games via proton without issues either, other than having to muck around with a few titles launch options to unset my SDL video driver I stream to twitch periodically when I am bored and it works well by using the obs vkcapture plugin

    There are issues with some games for sure. You’ll tab in/out at the wrong times (usually loading screens) and this guarantees Wayland will crash and restart the session. But at least it gracefully dies and comes back, never had it freeze on me.

    EDIT: Playing MGS5 rn and the game froze when I tabbed, locked the entire system. Can’t even switch to a new tty so I’m forced to reboot.

    System: high end AMD on Nix with relatively latest pkgs from unstable branch

    Idk how the majority of this thread can say Wayland is perfectly stable, it’s plain disingenuous.

      I think it depends on your usecase a lot. Most of the feedback is not related to games, so I don’t think most of them experience your issue, because you alt-tab out of a loading game. Do you have any major issues that are not related to playing games?

      I can play games fine on Wayland, but I don’t alt-tab out, so I haven’t encountered what you have.

    Unfortunately no. I mean for the most part it works pretty well (Plasma 6) but I do have a couple consistent issues.

    1. On my AMD gaming laptop it has some weird video static artifacts occasionally when running on the laptop screen that don’t exist on external screens. But I know that it it isn’t a problem with the screen, because it happens on two different laptops with the same CPU/ GPU combination.

    2. A slightly more serious issue on my work laptop which uses an old Nvidia MX-series GPU, and if I’m using an external screen, Wayland crashes if the screen goes to sleep.

    But other than those issues, it’s been pretty good.

      +1 for crashing after sleep on external screen with Nvidia. Are there any fixes or updates being worked on as far as anyone knows? This is a major issue but the only one I’ve run into on Wayland.

      535.183.01 Nvidia driver with GTX 1060.

      I’m also a noob so if I’m running the wrong driver or something I wouldn’t be surprised

      I can’t observe anything on my and observe anything on my ASUS Mini PC PN50-BBR050MD, Ryzen 7 4800U and Fujitsu LifeBook U939X with integrated Intel i5-8265U graphics. But I don’t use gaming.

    I’ve been running Plasma 6 + Wayland since the packages went live in the Arch repos and have had zero issues. I was already running Wayland sessions in Plasma 5.2x with only a few minor annoyances. On AMD hardware.

    I am not having issues at all with Wayland, even game on it. Using a fairly new Nvidia card, after version 555.x was released, Wayland no longer has any flickering like visuals for me.

    I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.

    Still can’t run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.
