I’ve tried running Plasma 5 on Wayland occasionally but due to having NVIDIA card there’s always been bigger or smaller annoying issues so I always reverted back to X11.
Looking forward to try out Plasma 6 as soon as it’s released!

i have a rtx3080ti and am using KDE plasma 5 wayland on Fedora 38(now 39) exclusively for gaming. i made the switch to wayland a month or so ago and i am having a considerably smoother experience than x11. especially with multiple monitors and flatpack apps like discord in the mix.(steam is running native though). no issues that i am aware of so far

Overclocking is a deal breaker for me. Does this work in Wayland for Nvidia yet?
- Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 1•11 months ago
Just tried it yesterday. It is a LOT more smooth for me, but it can’t seem to handle 144hz. I turned it down to 60hz and it seems to be going well for now. I can live with this I think.

I’m also on NVIDIA, I tried the Plasma 6 Alpha last night (on KDE neon unstable) and to my utter shock, Wayland was pretty goddamn close to flawless.

Exiting news! Can’t wait for final release to hit the repositories!
Yesterday I gave Wayland another try on Plasma 5 using the latest NVIDIA drivers, but unfortunately there were several visual glitches and the panel stopped updating itself :(

Yeah, I tried it again this morning and got a black screen with mouse trails. I also have an Nvidia card and will give it another go when Plasma 6 comes out.

In the meantime please share that these issues exist on nvidia forums. Issues caused by nvidia drivrers shouldn’t come under the purview of the kde devs.

Can’t even login on my desktop on Wayland. Kwin crashes immediately.
I have a 1050ti BTW X11 runs like a champ.
- NoisyFlake ( @NoisyFlake@lemm.ee ) 4•11 months ago
Same. Really wanted to give Wayland a chance, but having artifacts on blurry windows where the cursor was is just too annoying for me. Plasma team is already aware of the issue but said it’s too huge of a change for 5.x
To be honest, X11 is not terrible, even with multiple monitors with different refresh rates. I’m running 2x 60Hz and 1x 144Hz without any problems on X11.

Qt6 alone solves a lot of issues. I hope it will be a smooth release.

Wayland by default
🎉🎉🎉
The Breeze app style has gotten the visual overhaul you’ve all dreamed of: no more frames within frames!
Yeah, it regularly appears in my nightmares /s. Sorry Carl, but I’m gonna have to patch this out. I hope this will get a config option like the change to the Dolphin details view that made the click area to open a file span the whole row (doesn’t look like it’s configurable as of now). I kept patches to undo that for a while as well…
Spectacle has gained support for rectangular region screen recording!
Oooh, I’ve been waiting for that. Very cool! Now I hopefully don’t have to fiddle around with OBS anymore to record a section of the screen.

Wayland by default
Having an Nvidia-card, should I be worried about this? So far I’ve read so many “Nvidia bad, Wayland no work” posts that I have just stayed clear waiting for a final confirmation that everything is smooth sailing.
- IverCoder ( @IverCoder@lemm.ee ) English4•11 months ago
On much more recent driver versions Wayland support has been further improved. I suggest going with Fedora Silverblue since RPM Fusion is pretty quick to roll out new driver versions.
- Supermariofan67 ( @Supermariofan67@programming.dev ) 2•11 months ago
I’ve been using Wayland on Nvidia with plasma for about a year and it’s been mostly fine. Only a few minor issues like night color not working or some Xwayland apps flickering, but the system feels far more responsive on Wayland so it’s well worth it to me

I want to play Diablo 4 in Linux with good performance.

Wanted to find out since when a System Sound kcm exists, found out that LibreOffice is in some way connected to freedesktop.
- phoenixz ( @phoenixz@lemmy.ca ) 3•11 months ago
Awesome,.all of it!
Can we now also focus on stabilizing everything? For the past 5-10 years, my personal KDE experience ws either features disappearing (i still mourn my Desktop cube) or just random shit.not working for years. I got to the point where a few months ago I seriously started to consider cinnamon, what are you doing to me?
- andruid ( @andruid@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months ago
That was the last couple releases tbh
- phoenixz ( @phoenixz@lemmy.ca ) 2•11 months ago
Any indication on if and when the desktop cube will return ?
- Knusper ( @Knusper@feddit.de ) 6•11 months ago
Apparently, that will arrive with Plasma 6.
It says "Version Fixed In: 6.0” here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883
And the last comment in there, does also specify so.Apparently, this is now part of
kdeplasma-addons
, so this might be in a separate package, which may not be pre-installed by your distro. I really don’t know, if it means anything, but Nate felt it worth mentioning here: https://pointieststick.com/2023/10/27/these-past-2-weeks-in-kde-wayland-color-management-the-desktop-cube-returns-and-optional-shadows-in-spectacle/
