This is way too early especially for people running nvidia or still relying on software that can’t work properly on wayland. I guess im sticking to xfce for a long while

Won’t most of those pieces of software work on xwayland?

As someone with a GTX 1080 running GNOME Wayland for at least the last four years, why is everyone claiming the sky is falling on Nvidia users with this change? Do you actually use Nvidia to be saying we’ll have a bad time? Sure the support is miles better on AMD, but it’s not absolutely borked. For me it’s on par with my X11 experience, because both sessions have weird Nvidia support quirks tbh.

on a 2070 i get stuttery(er) performance and small hangs on the desktop, noticeably.higher latency and issues with rendering windows sometimes. games and ai work as expected.

i guess it depends on the hardware and or combination
