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?
I wouldn’t say 0 issues as I have occasional clipboard issues with XWayland apps or KWin crashing results in loss of work. I also find my HP Anyware PCoIP performance to be slightly downgraded compared to X11.
However, the upsides, such as multi-refresh rate and what feels like smoother performance on my RX 6900 XT (home, Tuxedo OS) and Vega 56 (office, KDE Neon) far outweigh it.
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.
Yep. All AMD. No issues.
Same thing here, all AMD/Wayland with no issues outside of the ones I cause :p
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.

I can’t observe anything on my and observe anything on my ASUS Mini PC PN50-BBR050MD, Ryzen 7 4800U and Fujitsu LifeBook U939X with integrated Intel i5-8265U graphics. But I don’t use gaming.+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 wouldn’t say no issues, but nothing like what some people are complaining about. I only have one major issue in my opinion.
Me, beside screen remote software not working everything else works flawlessly
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
The only AMD (A10-7700K) that has given me problems with wayland uses by default the old radeon driver. I switched to the amdgpu driver and everything was solved.
I am not having issues at all with Wayland, even game on it. Using a fairly new Nvidia card, after version 555.x was released, Wayland no longer has any flickering like visuals for me.
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.
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.
Certainly not, sadly.
Yes.
Have not touched X11 since the proper Wayland support in the Nvidia drivers and Plasma 6. Its been super solid.
