I’m on KDE Plasma with Nvidia and Wayland with the proprietary 530 drivers but really the experience (due to Nvidia’s own fault) doesn’t feel polished at all although it’s very smooth, but the fact of having to be constantly switching between Xorg and Wayland because one or another program doesn’t behave the way it should in Wayland (frameskipping, blank screen, tearing) and I was thinking if using the open source drivers could fix something or make it worse.
I remember testing the open source drivers some time ago and running the Terraria compilation for Linux was not working well at all, and that being a native Linux compilation, maybe the Proton version would have worked better.
The recent open source driver is only compatible with the latest Gen cards (I have a 2070 so it’s what I have installed) issue is even though it’s open source it doesn’t really fix any of the issues that plague Nvidia. There’s such a litany of unforgivable issues that just make no sense it honestly seems as if Nvidia is trying to make things as bad as possible. I’m assuming no one’s forked their open source drivers because they’re just too complex for the open source community to take hold and fix stuff. In fact just recently I had to completely uninstall all GPU drivers because otherwise my computer wouldn’t boot.
