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 got a HP Elitedesk 800 G4. This thing came with an integrated Intel card and a AMD one. With the Intel one it works fantastic. With the AMD one, bleh. I disabled in on the BIOS as I use this with a thunderbolt display, so it’s been like two years since I tried it.
I’ve got an intel gpu and I don’t have wayland-exclusive issues, but it’s still quite buggy
I’ve had some issues with Linux, but none that I can attribute to Wayland.
I’ve been using Wayland on my Debian 12 - KDE laptop, and it’s been working fine, except for Flameshot. Also, the task bar has some freaky behaviour
It has been pretty unproblematic on two of my devices (a mini PC with integrated AMD graphics and a laptop with integrated Intel graphics). On the third (a desktop with NVIDIA graphics), I had an issue with Firefox’s window flashing while I typed, so I had to switch that one back to X11.
I have a PC with a very old 1080ti on it, and that shit is a nightmare on x11. Only Wayland made it somewhat usable. It still had issues, but not as bad as on x11. Ended up putting windows on this machine. Until I get a new AMD GPU for it in the near future.
yup. ever since the explicit sync update from nvidia i’ve had zero problems on wayland.
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)_/¯
I occasionally have copy/paste issues, but it’s most often with electron apps as well.
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.
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
intel gpu ones work well but nvidia is pretty much hell
intel+amd, fedora gnome wayland, zero 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.
Same thing here, all AMD/Wayland with no issues outside of the ones I cause :p
Been using Plasma Wayland for a few years now with minimal issues.
One issue I have is that SDL2 is not working
