The last time I tried it just shared a black screen. If I switch to X11 it worded.

Maybe you can’t but I definitely can, flawlessly. Only thing is once I close a game I have to restart the scream.

xrandr. afaik, there’s no (standard) way to set display resolution from the command line in wayland. also, there’s no equivalent of xkill, so in order to kill an unresponsive gui app, you have to grep for its pid in ps, which can get a bit tedious and annoying, especially for programs which spawn multiple processes.

I use Wayland for hours at a time on NVidia and it doesn’t crash.

I suppose it has to do with my general kde setup and many tweaks and adjustments over the years…maybe i should wipe everything and give it a fresh try…

I see people having a good to great experience with NVIDIA on Wayland. I lack that ability, I can never get my PC to run well on Wayland. (using the propriety drivers) hoping the new GSP firmware and the improvements to MESA-Nouveau + NVK fixes my issues. even if their are teething pains. because of how unusable it currently just is for me. course if I had the money, the easiest fix to make Linux usable for me is to buy a AMD GPU. FYI, I have a 2070Super. It is a consistently bad experience on it, with the NVIDIA propriety drivers.

Using Prime Render offloading and an AMD APU also works really well with wayland. Really happy with my Ryzen 5 5600G + Nvidia GPU setup.
