    As someone with a GTX 1080 running GNOME Wayland for at least the last four years, why is everyone claiming the sky is falling on Nvidia users with this change? Do you actually use Nvidia to be saying we’ll have a bad time? Sure the support is miles better on AMD, but it’s not absolutely borked. For me it’s on par with my X11 experience, because both sessions have weird Nvidia support quirks tbh.

      on a 2070 i get stuttery(er) performance and small hangs on the desktop, noticeably.higher latency and issues with rendering windows sometimes. games and ai work as expected.

      i guess it depends on the hardware and or combination

      Same here. I have a few applications that I had to specifically turn on Wayland support for (Thunderbird & Vivaldi, for instance), and a lot that work just fine, and the ones I have issues with are mostly the X-only apps running on Xwayland, which tend to be less stable than they were directly under X, but there are only a few that I still use.

    This is way too early especially for people running nvidia or still relying on software that can’t work properly on wayland. I guess im sticking to xfce for a long while

      I certainly hope the Wayland experience is better on Gnome than it is on KDE, otherwise a lot of Gnome users are not going to be happy. I tried KDE with Wayland and oh boy… Just some things I noticed on a daily basis:

      Applications going completely unresponsive, as in: requiring kill -9 to terminate them. Solved for now by reverting to X11.

      Stuff like the display configuration screen placing a gap between my external monitor and laptop screen, and then complaining that screens must be placed adjacently. Annoying as both X11 and Wayland insist on defaulting my 5120x1440 display to 640x480 each time I reconnect it, so I see that screen way too often. At least with X11 I don’t have to manually drag screens to their proper places before being able to save my settings.

      Window manager just completely locking up at random, requiring a hard reset.

      If my experience on an AMD graphics laptop just under a year old is that bad, I hate to think how horrible the Wayland experience for Nvidia users must be judging by the comments here.
