minus-squareutopiah@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours agoAbsolutely, I’m not blaming any Wayland implementation about this, just giving my current situation as an example. I do so because I imagine it’s a popular setup (according to https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-vs-nvidia-which-more-popular-linux based on ProtonDB data, more than 60% Linux gamers had an NVIDIA GPU) and thus might prevent adoption. I hope NVIDIA will fix that. Maybe a push from Valve would help.
