In my ~6 years of using Wayland I've never experienced anything like this. In fact, my experience has been that the entire desktop experience was smoother and less buggy.

Admittedly, I've steered clear of NVIDIA products which may have helped.

I used Wayland for almost everything (AMD GPU), but the performance for some applications such as Blender are absolutely abysmal currently.

I have to switch to X when using those apps.

You also may have a different config. For example, I use fractional scaling on my laptop (1.5x) which means firefox sometimes crashes when I open the menu, but when I'm using my external monitor at 1x scaling it runs fine so you'd never notice.

I have a 30-bit 4K monitor. It's been an adventure learning about environmental flags and how "the root problem is upstream/downstream from our project"
