Since Xorg is getting old, looking at trying Wayland WMs

Same. Intel ran it great, but Nvidia is still pretty bad about running Wayland.

When the Steam Deck dropped I got an AMD GPU and it's close.to Intel levels of seamless. That's when I knew that Wayland is more than ready, Nvidia just still is not.

It really is pretty great nowadays. I always had both my laptops with fractional scaling and currently it all seems to work very well, no more weird renderings anywhere. And a greater thing, I had a external screen I left unused for multiple years because it needed to be used with a different fractional scaling than the laptop it was connected and now it just works and I can finally use it. It's nice. I don't have hdr needs but color management seems to be properly in place now and the bugs I had previously with it are also gone - like it did something weird on some video recording app and some weird stuff with that thing that changes the color of the screen when it's night - it all just works now.

Works great... until you realize your GPU isn't liked by Wayland when you have more than one monitor lol. Then Wayland is uninstalled and you go back to Xorg or XFCE.

It's weird, had this issue with multiple monitors where wayland is either a glitchy refresh rate mess or just doesn't recognize at all. Nvidia, amd, discrete or dedicated, native driver or oem driver: they're all finicky under wayland when multiple monitors are used.

Electron apps are still broken if you’re on Hyprland and NVIDIA. They just randomly stop working, and when I last checked, nobody had yet figured out why.

It’s why I’m on KDE, because that’s been perfectly stable for me. Plus, KDE is great anyway.

Is it a wayland exclusive? I couldn't find it in the x11 kde.
