I always knew that we’d convert you to KDE one day :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

366

Nah … just saw you KDE folks needed a helping GNOME hand :raised_hand:t5:

367

Thx, will check when I’m home. But I DEFINITLY didn’t change any settings lately.

368

Okay, I take everything back, I said earlier about PLasma/Wayland because since the recent sddm update the DE freezes on Wayland and not on X11.

@keybreak You, Witch, with a B in front :smiling_imp: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I must be doing something wrong. I have been running KDE with Wayland for 3 weeks now without any real problems. I respectfully apologize for this offense!

372

Me too and it’s working flawlessly. I even have it running on Nvidia.

I’m using an old RX 580, may it remain with me for a long time!

374

The RX580 & RX590 are great cards. I also have parts for a whole new system and i got a RX 6750 XT waiting for it.

375

All Intel here and no problems.

376

That’s a pretty strong word for something that can’t even run Xeyes.

Well besides that fact it does run well. I don’t see any difference than X11 other than that and also simple screen recorder doesn’t work on Wayland too!

378

Maybe you are interested in building it yourself: https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr/tree/wayland

There is an experimental fork in AUR as well.

I haven’t tried none of these so I couldn’t vouch for either one.

379

How is that going to make it work on Wayland? I just thought that it isn’t supported and only works with X11?

380

I don’t know. Haven’t tried them.

381

From tibbits here and there online there still plenty out there that Wayland doesn’t play nice with which take me back to my original conclusion which is making Wayland the default with Plasma 6.0 is ASSinine

382

In my experience, OBS Studio supports the native KDE Wayland well when using AMD GPU.

KColorChooser was improved on Wayland and detects what color outside its window without any issue, this was new to me.

I am about to buy a new graphics card. On Kleinanzeigen I looked, the RX 580 are there still with 130 - 150 traded.

The 6750s are not affordable for my budget.

I have now decided on the RX 6600 series.
Gigabyte is 200€ for me and fits perfectly for my needs.

Oh sorry, it’s going Off Topic :wink:
