Meanwhile, Chromium Wayland is still broken for me on two PCs, as it has been for over a year in spite of my best efforts to troubleshoot, due to some bad interaction with the Nvidia driver. GPU acceleration doesn't work, and there are some other possibly related issues like copy paste locking up the browser and crashing the browser.
Firefox is kind of flakey on Nvidia wayland too. Sometimes it just refuses to launch, but it mostly does work with GPU acceleration if it manages to launch.
I should mention that every bug, and dozens more, immediately disappears if I disable the Nvidia driver completely and just run off my AMD IGP.

What boggles the mind is the sheer number of laptops that claim to be Linux laptops, while shipping with NVIDIA dGPUs.
- Arnavion 3y agoYes, it used to be `--my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia`. Nowadays it's the much tamer `--unsupported-gpu`
