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?

    Yes, Plasma 6 was the turning point for me, since it introduced pixel-perfect fractional scaling on Wayland for just about every application.

      Fractional scaling was the only issue that held me from using Wayland for way too long. So glad they’ve fixed it with 6, otherwise, I would have been still on x11

    I wouldn’t say no issues, but nothing like what some people are complaining about. I only have one major issue in my opinion.

    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.

    Unfortunately no. I mean for the most part it works pretty well (Plasma 6) but I do have a couple consistent issues.

    1. On my AMD gaming laptop it has some weird video static artifacts occasionally when running on the laptop screen that don’t exist on external screens. But I know that it it isn’t a problem with the screen, because it happens on two different laptops with the same CPU/ GPU combination.

    2. A slightly more serious issue on my work laptop which uses an old Nvidia MX-series GPU, and if I’m using an external screen, Wayland crashes if the screen goes to sleep.

    But other than those issues, it’s been pretty good.

      +1 for crashing after sleep on external screen with Nvidia. Are there any fixes or updates being worked on as far as anyone knows? This is a major issue but the only one I’ve run into on Wayland.

      535.183.01 Nvidia driver with GTX 1060.

      I’m also a noob so if I’m running the wrong driver or something I wouldn’t be surprised

        At one point I had found an existing issue in the bug tracker, but the last time I looked I couldn’t find it again.

        And I’ve tried both the open source nouveau driver, and a driver downloaded from Nvidia and they both had the same issue.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    There are issues with some games for sure. You’ll tab in/out at the wrong times (usually loading screens) and this guarantees Wayland will crash and restart the session. But at least it gracefully dies and comes back, never had it freeze on me.

    EDIT: Playing MGS5 rn and the game froze when I tabbed, locked the entire system. Can’t even switch to a new tty so I’m forced to reboot.

    System: high end AMD on Nix with relatively latest pkgs from unstable branch

    Idk how the majority of this thread can say Wayland is perfectly stable, it’s plain disingenuous.

    I’ve only been fully on Linux for about 4-5 months, but am yet to experience any issues on Fedora KDE with Wayland. Previously while I was distrohopping I was having a bit of a rough time but since settling on Fedora and with Plasma 6 it has been smooth sailing.

    I’m using an AMD 5700X/B550m and RX 6700 XT. Also with two mismatched 1440p displays (different refresh rates).

    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.
