Mainline Chromium (and subsequently Electron) support for wayland has only really landed in the last year or so. I'm curious how long ago this trial of yours was?

Yeah I think I remember seeing that, we did this around 6 months ago so not many actual applications used the newer version of electron, although IIRC a lot of electron applications don't update electron itself super frequently.

I might try wayland again, I'm just really frustrated with it. It's always been advertised to be better then X, and 15 years in it's still a rocky mess (as of ~6 months ago).

This isn't 100% waylands fault - but nvidia cards seem to add extra issues. I need CUDA support so AMD is not an option.

Well, there you go. NVIDIA for the longest time didn’t support linux, period. They add proprietary binary blobs to patch xserver to work. It’s no surprise that some normal userspace program can’t do something the kernel can’t do either.
