Driving an AE86 apparently feels just like using wayland with NVIDIA

Nvidia spends the past few years aggressively refusing to cooperate with wayland because corporate brain worms and somehow it's wayland's fault.

Been using it for half an year now, either the issues are insignificant or I do not observ them cause it's not bothering me!

Do you have systemd-initiald configured correctly? :-)

I've honestly had 0 issues with Wayland for the past few years of use. Multiple computers including one with an Nvidia graphics card

I've been using Wayland for about a year on and off with Voidlinux on the framework 13. Everything's pretty much worked from the start besides screen sharing which was a void specific issue that's been patched

Laughs in AMD

Can anybody who has actually used Nvidia with wayland in the last 6 months tell me what problems you have? As a recreational PC user I have noticed 0 issues with my setup:

• Ryzen 3600
• Nvidia GTX 1660
• Arch
• Nvidia-open driver
• Gnome / KDE / Hyprland (currently Gnome) running on wayland

I came from Windows 2-3 months ago, my daily usage has been more or less unaffected, especially when it comes to something I could pin to specifically nvidia + wayland.

All the above just makes it seem like nvidia + wayland bad is just a circlejerk.

Didn't think that I'd see Throttle House here

Tried running a 3080 Ti with (all KDE flavors of) Arch, Tumbleweed, Ubuntu, Fedora and Nvidia drivers, X11 works okay-ish but screen glitches galore in Wayland, GPU refuses to grab the output unless iGPU is blacklisted, etc. etc. Hardware video decoding on Firefox and other Chromium-based browsers simply refuse to work because Nvidia. I'm not going to use Nouveau since I'm using it for AI content generation.

Switched to a 7900 XTX, reinstalled and haven't had a graphics-related issue thus far. ROCm is obviously in its early days but it should get better over time. A

For those folks who are seeing zero issues with their Nvidia setup and crapping on others, check your driver variant with lspci -k | grep -A 3 -E "(VGA|3D)" and see if its Nouveau.

I love this thread.

Linux users constantly talk about how Linux just works and Windows is garbage, but then half these comments are talking about how you should buy an entirely different computer to make Linux run with FEWER issues.

Windows may have it's problems, but I don't need to buy an entirely new PC to make it work. AMD, Nvidia, Intel, doesn't matter. It just works.

I was wondering what all the issues are until I reread and picked up on the nvidia part. That's a shame as its been so stable for a long time on my 5700xt. I went exclusively AMD GPUs when the 5700 was released and aside from early issues with the win drivers, its been such a great experience on Linux. Big motivation was to be able to retire any of my cards as a video stream transcoder (after nvidia said 2 streams maximum, fuck you all) but as I'm not looking for 4k game all these years later those cards are still all I need for 2k.

Been really impressed with amd the last few years, especially compared to NVs mad pricing

It doesn't work much better on AMD unfortunately.

Worked fine for me. Just use mesa.
