Outdated meme, NVIDIA has had good Wayland support for over a year now
It didn't work well for me, I tried Wayland recently with both nouveau and proprietary driver and encountered bugs. Had to switch back to X.
Interesting, what GPU and DE did you use? Distro? I was able to get things running smoothly on my GTX 1070 with Wayland and KDE Plasma.
With NVIDIA, you also do have to set up DRM (Direct Rendering Manager): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA
yeah i'm on 3060ti and wayfire, it's been good for quite a while now.
I don't get it. What's "Wayland"?
Wayland is a windowing system, sort of. It's a replacement for X11. It changes how graphics are done on Linux machines, and has a more modern and secure approach which offers better performance and efficiency. It notoriously doesn't work very well on NVIDIA, because NVIDIA for a long time didn't allow the community to write drivers for Linux and didn't want to put effort into making it work correctly. This has changed recently but there are still some headaches with certain desktop environments or window managers.
This is a video from 2 years ago that tries to explain Wayland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1BoZnekkyM
It's a lot more usable now than it was when this video came out though, I run it every day.
Fuck nvidia. Bought Amd after almost 10y and I am not looking back.
Amazing LOL
Dancing, walking, rearranging furniture
God damned wayland.
