KDE and GNOME roll their own wayland libs for their compositor.
These have varying levels of quality with their own unique quirks and bugs. The "gold standard" for wayland at the moment is wlroots which is what basically every other wayland compositor uses. PCSX2 apparently works perfectly fine on wlroots based compositors but has some quirks with KDE wayland and is nigh unusable with GNOME's super janky wayland implementation.
- abrouwers 3y agoFunny, I've used a wlroots environment recently (hyprland), and noticed tearing in animations that I don't have in gnome. So, I guess I'll take "janky" :-)
- gkbrk 3y agoI thought tearing was not a thing on Wayland, and every frame was perfect.
- abrouwers 3y agoSorry, "tearing" isn't the correct word. I use the swipe gesture to "peak" at another workspace - if I have a video playing in that workspace, for example, it'll have artifacts in the playback while I'm mid-swipe. On gnome, the picture is perfect - I can swipe half-way, and the video is playing frame-perfect, as if the workspace was in focus.
