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.
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.
Same thing here, all AMD/Wayland with no issues outside of the ones I cause :p
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
Not a single issue with Intel + Wayland + Fedora + KDE.
I wouldn’t say no issues, but nothing like what some people are complaining about. I only have one major issue in my opinion.
The only issues I had were due to fractional scaling (blurry apps, especially Electron based ones; and windows opening or moving to weird edges, where I can’t move them anymore).
But those were already a few months or a year ago, and since I switched from Gnome to KDE 6, I have zero issues, neither on my laptop (integrated on CPU), nor on my desktop with an AMD GPU.
And even over a year, almost two, ago, Wayland has been very smooth for me. I used Gnome for most of the time, which has always been very solid with Wayland. KDE has been a bit more janky in the past, but nowadays, Wayland feels way smoother and polished than X11 for me.
I actually forgot to mention that the only issues I have are some of my favorite apps/features just don’t work on Wayland. example, superpaper is an app that I use to span wallpapers across both of my monitors. It doesn’t work as well as on x11. It does work, but I’d have to launch it from the terminal every single time I reboot. Also, it’s tray icon doesn’t show up. Betterbird email client’s “close to minimize” feature doesn’t work on Wayland. Even the developers basically told me to kick rocks when I reported it on GitHub and said that working with Wayland is a nightmare for them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
Been using Plasma Wayland for a few years now with minimal issues.
I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.
Still can’t run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.
Yep. All AMD. No issues.
Me, beside screen remote software not working everything else works flawlessly
Only issue I have is that custom overlays are hard to impossible to get working. Which is a security feature I’m sure, but still is annoying. I tried for a while to get AwakenedPoeTrade running, but eventually gave up.
But everyday use, not a single issue (that I’m not blatantly responsible for myself, at least)
Even on x11 awakened trade sucks, now that I know that, I’ll wait longer to migrate to it
No idea what customer overlays are. Lol
