- bryanlarsen 3y agoIn my experience Wayland is pretty bad on Nvidia binary driver, has some annoyances on Gnome and works fabulous on AMD hardware with KDE or a wlroots based compositor.
- yencabulator 3y agoI think you meant to say NVidia drivers are bad... Not Wayland's fault, or the fault of any single compositor, or the kernel DRM's fault.
- soniczentropy 3y agoNever tried it on AMD hardware, but I can confirm Nvidia drivers cause it to go haywire on all 4 of my machines. I try yearly or so, see everything's still a dumpster fire, and head back to X11
- LtWorf 3y agoThe internet is full of people that will inform you that all the stuff that stops working when switching to wayland is your own fault and you're a liar anyway. I'm quite convinced these people just use windows and occasionally open linux in a vm for 10 minutes.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoI have no problems with recent Ubuntu & Gnome & Wayland, unless I launch a game in Steam, and then it's a mixed bag (tho getting better). And in fact multimonitor support esp with multiple DPIs & resolutions works much better with Wayland than with X. For that, X is just a terrible experience. But I'm on AMD. Thinkpad Z16 AMD Gen1.
