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?

    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.
