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?
yup. ever since the explicit sync update from nvidia i’ve had zero problems on wayland.
I would say it’s mostly smooth except for a few annoyances like lots of apps not displaying icons correctly in taskbar or taskswitcher but a standard Wayland icon.
intel+amd, fedora gnome wayland, zero issues.
I have been using Sway for ~2 years now without issues. AMD CPU and GPU. I am not super particular about input lag and stuff, but I haven’t noticed any issues.
I have a VM that runs windows for my work stuff and it has no issues I play video games via proton without issues either, other than having to muck around with a few titles launch options to unset my SDL video driver I stream to twitch periodically when I am bored and it works well by using the obs vkcapture plugin

Yes, Plasma 6 was the turning point for me, since it introduced pixel-perfect fractional scaling on Wayland for just about every application.
Fractional scaling was the only issue that held me from using Wayland for way too long. So glad they’ve fixed it with 6, otherwise, I would have been still on x11
I wouldn’t say no issues, but nothing like what some people are complaining about. I only have one major issue in my opinion.

Yep. All AMD. No issues.
Unfortunately no. I mean for the most part it works pretty well (Plasma 6) but I do have a couple consistent issues.
-
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.
-
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.

I’ve been running Plasma 6 + Wayland since the packages went live in the Arch repos and have had zero issues. I was already running Wayland sessions in Plasma 5.2x with only a few minor annoyances. On AMD hardware.
It works just fine on my laptop - Intel, openSUSE
It mostly works fine on my desktop - Nvidia, endeavourOS
Since the explicit sync fixes, the only problems I have are janky scrolling in Firefox / Librewolf and a couple of bugs with panels. They are annoying enough that I use X11 on the desktop.
AMD cpu, nvidia gpu, running tuxedo os. i’ve had one issue and it was warthunder and enlisted not capturing the cursor correctly. this is caused by those games supporting linux natively but not having wayland support yet. no other games have done this for me so far.
intel gpu ones work well but nvidia is pretty much hell
I randomly get locks ups when I am watching YouTube while using touchscreen, but otherwise it’s fine.
I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland and I have Intel GPU.
