I’m considering switching from Windows 10 to something either using KDE or the new Cosmic DE that System76 is working on. Right now I’ve got a 3060TI.

    With a 1080ti, nvidia 550.67, and Plasma on Wayland, my experience is practically flawless now. The only offenders are apps that cannot run in native Wayland mode, one way or another. For example: anything on Chromium Embedded Framework, such as the Steam client. Games still run perfectly fine, but the client does flicker occasionally. For Electron apps, you usually have configs to toggle everything on

      FYI I’ve been running Steam and Wine games in Gamescope because I’m using a window manager that doesn’t implement XWayland. I don’t know if that would help with Nvidia, but might be worth a try. It works ok; Gamescope has a Steam integration switch that helps.

      I think Electron apps mostly switch to native Wayland mode if you set an environment variable, ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland. The one I don’t have working in Wayland mode is Discord. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland#Electron
