AFIK this problem was solved ~2 years ago when Nvidia added support for GBM in version 495.44 (https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/181274/en-us/ https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/181274/en...)
- jadbox 3y agoI'm running KDE Wayland on Nvidia. It's mostly just fine. There's minor quirks with some apps, but the DE does feel smoother to me.
- kldx 3y agoCan confirm the desktop and my web browser are a whole lot snappier on Wayland
- ankurdhama 3y agoThis is not a solved problem until they support DMA-BUF import (i.e on laptops with iGPU and Nvidia GPU, your external monitor connected to Nvidia will be very sluggish as the compositor will have to copy the framebuffer - rendered on the iGPU - to nvidia GPU using CPU instead of directly importing it to Nvidia GPU using DMA-BUF)
- dathinab 3y agoThis doesn't add DMA-BUF import but it does mitigate the issue for the use case of many dGPU/iGPU laptops when an external monitor is used (independent of weather they are Nvidia laptops): https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-Better-wlroots-Secondary https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-Better-wlroots-Secondar...
- charcircuit 3y agonvidia already supports EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import
- charcircuit 3y agoAnd even before that the EGL_KHR_stream EGL extension could have been used.
