Anyone on the most recent LTS Kernel (6.18) with an older nvidia GPU will not have a good experience on Wayland. I have two machines with Pascal GPUs and: - The nvidia binary driver is shit with Wayland - The nvidia OSS driver does not support Pascal GPUs. - Nouveau got a bunch of stability improvments in Linux 6.19, without which Wayland crashes roughly weekly. You can get a stable system either by using the latest kernel+nouveau or: MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=kms_swrast but performance is rather abysmal.

My touchpad still works like shit on libinput (which is the only input method available on wayland). I guess in a few years I'll need to patch it and carry my patches forever. Yay progress!

    Cool, seems useful. I should try it and package it for debian if it works.
