I can’t even get past my login screen without my monitors losing signal. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. It’s a beast I have to tackle again before they drop x11
What distro? Fewer problems on Arch is to be expected as it has more up to date software and drivers. On something that is improving quickly, like Wayland, that can make a lot of difference.
Thanks for responding. I use Arch and tried both open and propietary driver for nvidia. I’m still learning the ins and outs of using Linux so even when I search for solutions, a lot of it just goes above my head, haha. I’m sure I’ll figure it out (or the problem would fix itself) eventually.
It literally went from .1 fps to workable across multiple monitors over night. I’ve had one issue since where an update broke multi monitor support where if I changed monitor input without first removing the monitor in display it hard locked my computer. After a couple weeks that was fixed. Now periodically I have to restart Steam sometimes after an Nvidia update sometimes a full system restart, but not always and that’s still less restarts than the equivalent on Windows.
I’ve got a few friends that are considering a full jump, but a couple still play LoL or other anti cheat and aren’t willing to jump ship yet. The fight is real and I’m still pushing though. I’ve been all one for 2+ years now and other than the pre plasma 6 days on kde, I’ve had one game that I had to tweak some settings for, Ghost of Tsushima didn’t have multiplayer support, but the rest have been perfect out of box. For 90%+ of people, gaming and Linux will just work, regardless of GPU.
I’ve never had issues with my nvidia gpu on wayland.
I’ve never had to tweak anything to get it to work, it just works, even on a fresh arch install. I don’t get it.
Do you have a recent graphics card? How long is “never”?
nope it’s a GTX 3050 mobile. so a few years old.

I had issues until about 18 month ago. I went from Wayland completely unusable with my 2080ti to it just works with plasma 6 I think.
Plasma 6 is much improved over 5 in terms of Wayland.
