    Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg? (lemmy.world)

    Wayland runs on Nvidia lol

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

    I just set up a new system with a 4080 - things didn't really work under Wayland:

    • Steam was flickering with black areas, even after disabling hardware acceleration/tinkering with Flatseal
    • Firefox didn't use hardware acceleration, couldn't get it to work after multiple hours of debugging
    • Games on Steam weren't able to detect my GPU

    Then I switched to X11, and everything has been running smoothly since.

    It actually runs and feels smoother for me in a 144hz display and 2016 NVDIA card. Of course it still has its glitches and strange things happening from time to time, while with Xorg it "just works". I'd say it's still in alpha stage for Nvidia users, which require some tweaking and extra env variables to properly work; and in beta stage for everyone else

    Not on old cards like mine, the only DE that I manage to open so far was GNOME and it runs a bit slow, just slow enough to force me back to xorg.

    One day I will have a amd card, but I can't afford one right now.

    (I have a GT 635)

    Not really

    Yes, at first glance..crashes regularly for me after a few hours...

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    I use Wayland for hours at a time on NVidia and it doesn't crash.

    [–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    This doesn't imply it doesn't in fact crash. Different distros/versions are pretty far apart in software versions and experiences.

    I use Debian stable. So I don't use the latest.

    I suppose it has to do with my general kde setup and many tweaks and adjustments over the years..maybe i should wipe everything and give it a fresh try..
