I agree because plasma on wayland is still horribly buggy for me on both manjaro and eos (might be nvidia drivers…not sure). Can’t say about gnome coz never used. Also virtual box doesn’t work for me on wayland.
It works fine for me, they are maybe some tiny bugs, but if you’re not too fussy, Plasma on Wayland is usable, in my opinion. Not ideal, but certainly not “horribly buggy”…
However, not having a working alternative for Xeyes is a complete Wayland deal breaker for me (Plasma or not), so I’m sticking with Xorg for the foreseeable future.
GNOME has a pretty great Wayland experience. The only application that’s given me any grief is Steam and that’s just the UI getting sluggish with chat and library being open. This has to do with Valves custom GUI toolkit though.
I wonder if VBox not working is a KDE thing? It works fine on Gnome Wayland.
My experience: I am running Wayland with Gnome without any issues. The only application that caused me issues was Firefox. It was occasionally locking the whole UI and after a few minutes I could kill it and get my desktop back. During that time everything was frozen.
I stopped using Firefox because of that.
I am using AMD drivers btw…
Yep, it is rather strange. The first time it happened was when I was watching a youtube video. So I thought maybe there is a bug in the overlay window in relation to Wayland. But then it happened a second time while I was just browsing a page. After that I stopped using it. I have never experienced anything like it with any other application.
On my laptop, I run nvidia+Arch+Wayland+Plasma, have for some six months, maybe more, and never had a problem. On my desktop PC, I run nvidia+EndeavourOS+X11+Plasma because Wayland doesn’t really work well for gaming just yet, at least not on nvidia hardware. I’m quite happy with both setups and use Firefox as my main web browser on both.
Since I’m logged into the same Firefox Sync account, I wonder if I was counted twice, once (in which case, which one?) or not at all.
Do you run a multi monitor setup? I keep reading that Plasma+Nvidia+Multiple monitors still has it’s issues.
The geek in me is tempted but I haven’t read about a killer feature yet which would make me switch.
It’s been quite some pain to get my setup working, and it’s more or less flawless for years, would hate to break this…
I’d love to switch, but I’m a graduate teaching assistant, and have to share my screen from time to time. Zoom on KDE Wayland still has issues (screen sharing is not supported), probably the only thing keeping me from switching.
