This merge resquest has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!

      You can’t deny their support for Wayland has been steadily improving with the latest driver releases. In fact it’s already in a good state if it weren’t for the flickering in certain applications caused by these issues with explicit sync which are currently being addressed.

        i tried it recently and it was still pretty buggy for me, too late now though since i had the opportunity to move to amd

    am I correct to assume this is the thing that’ll fix eg. Steam going full seizure mode under wayland + nvidia?

      If by that you mean the flickering crap, then yes.

    Nvidia users will also need a DE update, but yeah, we’re finally almost there.

      That’s true, but thankfully it’s already been merged in mutter and is underway in kwin.

      The code for GNOME has already been merged, KDE has a merge request open for it too, Mesa also already has it merged in.

        Who thought individual compositors having to re-implement base features individually and over and over again would be a good idea?

        Same with the dozens of different protocols and portals and all the other magic bullshit. Once feature-complete with X11,Wayland will be of same complexity.

          I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the Wayland/X11 devs (same people) know more about the way the X11/Wayland projects are structured than you do.

      It’s definitely a large leep, but it’s not going to solve everything. I’d say it brings us to ~85% completion. There’s still a lot of smaller issues in need of fixing, and some issues unique to specific problem cards. Nvidia needs to put in that last 10% and the community needs to put in that last 4%. The 1% are the tiny bugs spread across the ecosystem that’ll get fixed overtime.

        Nvidia shouldn’t need to put anything in. It’s entirely Waylands fault that it does not work well with the already existing hardware and drivers environment.

        Nvidia is shit for so many reasons but not because Wayland doesn’t work well with it.

    Dose this mean using the desktop at all will not take half my GPU?

        Not sure how to check, still fairly new.

        I did notice the temperatures though. The card normally idles at 30-40c having anything open after a while will have it cooking at 75ish. I would expect it to be in the 50s after a few hours of youtube, or pushing 90-100 gaming. No issues on the Windows half of the install. From what I could piece together it dose seem to be related to Wayland and the drivers. I was thinking of waiting till Nobara updates and hope it goes away.

        Seems if I have anything opened and on screen like firefox or the file browser, it gets toasty.

            That’s wast I was thinking. Hopefully, if I ignore it long enough it will go away with an update.
