I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).
I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn’t go nuts either.
Made me think maybe people aren’t actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.
I’ve been using it since Plasma 6 came out so about 3-4 weeks.
Overall, it’s been a very negative experience for me. The main problems have been:
This is on a full AMD system with Arch Linux, the latest kernel and mesa-git. I hope for KDE’s sake that there’s something broken in my installation because I can’t believe the KDE team released Plasma 6 in this sorry state.
I haven’t run KDE 6 but on Kubuntu with the last LTS 5.27 release, I don’t have any of those issues also on a fully AMD system
You know, some personal anecdote here but Arch is a really shitty distro when it comes to subtle, hard to detect, system config breakage so maybe there’s something wrong somewhere in the system?
Give it a try with another distro like Debian or something and see if the issues happen there
And if they do, for the love of fuck FILE BUG REPORTS! The only reason we’re here today is because people who got annoyed at shit filed bug reports for it
I know, I know :)
I reported the bugs I’ve encountered but I don’t have time to install another distro right now. I’ve seen some of those bugs (scaling) on the KDE neon live iso though.
