Nvidia on Wayland isn't that broken anymore at least if you have recent cards.
- gliptic 3y agoLots of things running under Xwayland are unusable until the implicit/explicit sync issue between nvidia/wayland is resolved.
- Timon3 3y agoI recently set up a new Desktop system with an RTX 4080 and installed Fedora Kinoite (specifically ublue-nvidia). Things were weirdly broken in many ways: - Many apps were flickering between the actual content and black rectangles - Games didn't work at all, most without any error messages or discernible reasons, some told me they couldn't find a GPU - I couldn't use CUDA at all - Firefox couldn't use WebGL or play content with hardware acceleration After debugging this for multiple days I switched to X11, and everything immediately worked. I'm relatively proficient with Linux, and I have no idea what the issue was or how I could continue debugging it. So, at least for me, NVidia is still completely broken with Wayland.
- orbital-decay 3y agoIt works more or less fine (if you don't care about the feature parity) on bleeding edge Plasma 6 and Hyprland, if you manually apply a bunch of explicit sync patches made by Nvidia a year ago that Wayland devs won't merge. It works very poorly otherwise, especially XWayland apps and anything 3D - flickering, stuttering, artifacts, out of order frames.
