Is it just me, or are you folks running Wayland with no issues? I’ve even forgotten I was on Wayland until I looked at the settings the other day. I have all AMD, btw. I have zero issues so far. Anyone else?
AMD cpu, nvidia gpu, running tuxedo os. i’ve had one issue and it was warthunder and enlisted not capturing the cursor correctly. this is caused by those games supporting linux natively but not having wayland support yet. no other games have done this for me so far.
yup. ever since the explicit sync update from nvidia i’ve had zero problems on wayland.
I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.
Still can’t run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.
intel+amd, fedora gnome wayland, zero issues.
Been using Plasma Wayland for a few years now with minimal issues.
I got a HP Elitedesk 800 G4. This thing came with an integrated Intel card and a AMD one. With the Intel one it works fantastic. With the AMD one, bleh. I disabled in on the BIOS as I use this with a thunderbolt display, so it’s been like two years since I tried it.
I have been using Sway for ~2 years now without issues. AMD CPU and GPU. I am not super particular about input lag and stuff, but I haven’t noticed any issues.
I have a VM that runs windows for my work stuff and it has no issues I play video games via proton without issues either, other than having to muck around with a few titles launch options to unset my SDL video driver I stream to twitch periodically when I am bored and it works well by using the obs vkcapture plugin
It works just fine on my laptop - Intel, openSUSE
It mostly works fine on my desktop - Nvidia, endeavourOS
Since the explicit sync fixes, the only problems I have are janky scrolling in Firefox / Librewolf and a couple of bugs with panels. They are annoying enough that I use X11 on the desktop.
@penquin I am using Wayland with lots of issues.
The only issues I had were due to fractional scaling (blurry apps, especially Electron based ones; and windows opening or moving to weird edges, where I can’t move them anymore).
But those were already a few months or a year ago, and since I switched from Gnome to KDE 6, I have zero issues, neither on my laptop (integrated on CPU), nor on my desktop with an AMD GPU.
And even over a year, almost two, ago, Wayland has been very smooth for me. I used Gnome for most of the time, which has always been very solid with Wayland. KDE has been a bit more janky in the past, but nowadays, Wayland feels way smoother and polished than X11 for me.
@penquin It’s been pretty solid for me on X86_64 laptop (Radeon graphics) and laptop (Intel graphics.)
It’s a little quirky on Raspberry Pi. It seems to work well on my Pi 5 (RpiOS) but on a CM4 running Debian some apps like Firefox and VS Code have scrambled displays on KDE. I run Gnome on that one and that generally works. Surprisingly X11 is worse.
It has been pretty unproblematic on two of my devices (a mini PC with integrated AMD graphics and a laptop with integrated Intel graphics). On the third (a desktop with NVIDIA graphics), I had an issue with Firefox’s window flashing while I typed, so I had to switch that one back to X11.
I have a PC with a very old 1080ti on it, and that shit is a nightmare on x11. Only Wayland made it somewhat usable. It still had issues, but not as bad as on x11. Ended up putting windows on this machine. Until I get a new AMD GPU for it in the near future.
I randomly get locks ups when I am watching YouTube while using touchscreen, but otherwise it’s fine.
I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland and I have Intel GPU.
The only AMD (A10-7700K) that has given me problems with wayland uses by default the old radeon driver. I switched to the amdgpu driver and everything was solved.
I am not having issues at all with Wayland, even game on it. Using a fairly new Nvidia card, after version 555.x was released, Wayland no longer has any flickering like visuals for me.
