Thanks. I didn't want to wipe everything and use a different distro unless it was a last resort. I did try KDE Plasma (Wayland and X11) which produced different results than niri which was enough to get me to realize niri's compositor has a memory leak. The KDE Plasma test was enough to demonstrate the GPU still had problems allocating system memory under Wayland but it was fine in X11. I didn't stick with X11 because niri doesn't use it and it's much less smooth than Wayland. The post covers all of that. I've only been an Arch user for about a week btw.
