Those poor Nvidia users lol.

I'm currently on Wayland with Nvidia hardware and it's running fine tbh
-
yup, same. especially after explicit sync lands in a couple of days, even the rest of the minor problems should vanish.
-
I can't wait for my GPU to not be at 70c running Firefox.

Same here. With the exception of the explicit sync, which will hopefully be resolved this week, I have been running Plasma 6 wayland since February. And honestly when I tried the X11 version it had more issues.
-
fine here as well. I don't game much these days but when I do, it's pretty nice. Ever since the update that made the "night light" functional (the blue-light filter), I've been pretty happy!

Wayland works way better for me than X. GTX 1660
-
That's great for you. But it also has tons of problems with a lot of other users. Including issues with proprietary drivers, XWayland compat for many apps/games, screen tearing, multi-monitor setups (esp. with different aspect ratios and/or dpi scaling factors), VRR, HDR, rotation, color management, many accessibility features etc.

I mean, by now everyone should know not to buy Nvidia hardware if you want to run Linux on it.
It's been more than 10 years since Linus' finger to Nvidia.
-
“Everyone” who wants to be informed, but linux is also for the unconcerned or for newcomers.
Not to mention the monopoly that nvidia has on laptops.
-
I know it would be great if we could install Linux on any hardware, but unfortunately we're not there yet.
So you can either buy a laptop with Linux preinstalled, from a manufacturer who will support it, or do some research before hand.
And Nvidia doesn't have a monopoly on laptops, you can buy an AMD gaming laptop

Sorry. Wife's Christmas present. She wanted to surprise me. Gotta make do.
-
Bought a brand new machine. Top of the line. Installed windows on it. Thought "You know what, fuck this, time to give Linux another go". Discovered that nvida and Wayland don't get on...
-
Linux is becoming more and more popular on the desktop because it is now well suited for gaming. In addition to Proton, you also have to consider all the handhelds like SteamDeck. Valve certainly doesn't want an Nvidia product with crumbling proprietary drivers. With AMD, Nvidia could see that there is a market for it and has now established itself. It was only logical that Nvidia would not stand still. They will do everything to dominate the market as well.
-
nvidia works better for me on Linux than both nvidia/amd on windows. I know not everyone's experience is the same, but it's at least not universally bad in case you were trying to say that.
-
not a fan on NVIDIA but it works no problem for me, also they are open sourcing their drivers for turing+
i think some distros already getting them via 555?

-
No problems for me on NVIDIA laptop after KDE 6.0 has landed. I mean, no problems at all. And I didn't even get explicit sync yet.
