Wayland is one of those things you use once and then always use. (Assuming your not on Nvidia)
Assuming:
- everything works (just check out this thread)
- there is Wayland alternative for every xorg tool you need, and they haven’t been abandoned after a month
- your setup isn’t impossible due to DEs becoming a monolithic mess
X programs work fine under Xwayland for the most part
Not tools like screenshots, screen recording - because Wayland is inherently different, you couldn’t make those work in Xwayland without sacrifices.
I think Wayland is in a good enough state to be a daily driver for most (non-NVidia) users, but there’s still big caveats to keep in mind that can be deal breakers.
Yeah, but they obviously missed a few key features of X.org.
Like what? A broken protocol from 70 years ago?
Not exactly 70, but still, it does have features that Wayland still lacks.
Switch from gentoo to fedora recently and use wayland as the default with nvidia
Everythings works fine until i fire up some games. All the games have this weird screen flickering and screen tearing which render a black box and literally unplayable. Tried rebooting, upgrading, downgrading and no avail.
Then i tried to use Xorg and everythings fine.
Ita frustating tho
This has been an issue since NVIDIA introduced alternating frames in the 545 driver. To fix this, explicit sync was recently merged into the Wayland protocol, now all it needs is the merge into Xwayland and the new NVIDIA driver that supports it, which is rumored to be released as a beta around May 15.
Until then, you either have to game on Xorg or use the 535 driver.
Ill try downgrading the driver
But currently im fine with xorg tho
I just want to play my games lol
Thats another reason i switch from gentoo to fedora. I do learned a lot from gentoo, but sometimes its just tiring to build everything and i just want something that works
I’ve been daily driving gentoo for 2 years :D
I just want to play my games lol
No, you’re not a Gentoo user… or Gentoo users have gone downhill in the past few years.
Well, i used to be a gentoo user for 2 years or more. But after a while, it kinda bothersome to compile everything on my current pc. So i switched to fedora and its been great :D
Sorry if i didnt get your point, english is not my first langauge
Sorry if i didnt get your point, english is not my first langauge
Neither is mine, lol 😂.
My point was, Gentoo users don’t just wanna play their games. That’s reserved to Pop_OS users 😂.
Nvidia doesn’t work well with anything
Now do systemd. It’ll be easier since it has nothing but fanboys. It’s like Apple vs Android.
The only people who care about systemd are those that don’t use it
Wrong. I don’t use it, thus, don’t actually care for it.
I didn’t say all people who don’t use it care about it…
Although, it’s funny that the only response is from someone saying they don’t use systemd nor care about it
Still, you said “the only people”… that by itself presumes everyone.
And it’s only naturat to get a response from a person that doesn’t use systemd, that’s the taget audience of your comment.
Let’s try this again for the last time:
“The only numbers, that are smaller than 10 and also prime numbers, are 2, 3, 5, and 7.”
Does this mean that all numbers smaller than 10 are prime numbers?
You got me there 😂.
Still, that phrase when in social context, does usually mean everyone I’m referring to with ”the only" part.
Not a native English speaker, but I thought that was the presumption when seing that in that context 🤔.
They’re already building that. It’s called Wayland.
X.org will die when the last person stops using it 🤷 To each their own.
