Another Wayland VS. X šŸ‘€ Thread

Main reason wayland canā€™t be used by a lot of people is probably:

Gamma

Impossible to adjust with Nvidia cards last time i checked. Really annoying with it overblown by default and not able to adjust and even if you get it to adjust it only lasts until next boot. Burns my eyes and default on wayland is unacceptable.

Until they fix showstoppers: Wayland ainā€™t the futureā€¦

I ordered a new pc and with my new build I will be using an AMD gpu so will be interesting to see how the Wayland experience will compared to that of the Nvidia Wayland experience.

As I said I would, Iā€™ll just reply here since it seems appropriate. I got a new desktop system, I went from an Intel Core i9-9900KF and Nvidia RTX 3090 system to an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX system, of course I had some other components as well but they matter less. The main improvement I have noticed since then is that my Wayland experience has gone from working for some applications and not for other and sometimes, screen sharing with Teams working and sometimes not. To me having zero issues with Wayland and screen sharing with Teams always working and the problem with the Steam client glitching out under Wayland is gone with me now having an AMD GPU.

Even though on my new system I ran Arch for a while, I have in the mean time switched to Fedora Silverblue but the experience is still the same. My experience with Nvidia was never bad since I donā€™t use old gpuā€™s, but itā€™s great to have gone from a sometimes things work and sometimes things donā€™t work Wayland experience to a things always work experience with Wayland. Other than Wayland now being a good experience with all my daily tasks, there is no other differences I have noticed since everything I do is still the same. One thing I do find nice about having an AMD GPU is that I donā€™t need to install the driver separately anymore and no need for using ā€œnvidia-settingsā€ anymore. I hope that gives you a picture of my experience going from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD gpu ;).

Congrats on your hardware upgrade! Good to know that you havenā€™t had any issues under Wayland.
And thanks for taking your time to share your experience!

If this is the case wonā€™t Gnome just build it with X11 support disabled in Gnome 47?

I think that will be up to the distros, but Fedora certainly might.

Wayland can take my xscreensaver from my cold, dead hands. (And my caps lock light)

Eventually it will. :laughing: Wayland is working very well for me.
