This merge resquest has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!
our yearly “your nvidia gpu will finally work on wayland now!”
You can’t deny their support for Wayland has been steadily improving with the latest driver releases. In fact it’s already in a good state if it weren’t for the flickering in certain applications caused by these issues with explicit sync which are currently being addressed.
i tried it recently and it was still pretty buggy for me, too late now though since i had the opportunity to move to amd
am I correct to assume this is the thing that’ll fix eg. Steam going full seizure mode under wayland + nvidia?
Nvidia users will also need a DE update, but yeah, we’re finally almost there.
Who thought individual compositors having to re-implement base features individually and over and over again would be a good idea?
Same with the dozens of different protocols and portals and all the other magic bullshit. Once feature-complete with X11,Wayland will be of same complexity.
Dose this mean using the desktop at all will not take half my GPU?
Are you sure that’s not because it’s running at a very low frequency?
Not sure how to check, still fairly new.
I did notice the temperatures though. The card normally idles at 30-40c having anything open after a while will have it cooking at 75ish. I would expect it to be in the 50s after a few hours of youtube, or pushing 90-100 gaming. No issues on the Windows half of the install. From what I could piece together it dose seem to be related to Wayland and the drivers. I was thinking of waiting till Nobara updates and hope it goes away.
Seems if I have anything opened and on screen like firefox or the file browser, it gets toasty.
If it’s reaching those temps then the answer is probably no. Hope you find a solution
That’s wast I was thinking. Hopefully, if I ignore it long enough it will go away with an update.
