I've been using Wayland + KDE (currently Plasma 5.27.8) for a very long time now on my machine with an Nvidia GPU (first a 1080TI, then a 4090). There are annoying bugs, but they're not show stoppers. I'm not someone who whines about problems like these, especially because I'm at the forefront of the Linux desktop, on a known-bad combination, so there are bound to be bugs :P For example, a persistent bug that hasn't gone away in all this time is flaky wake from sleep. Sometimes, one of my monitors breaks in such a way that it drops down to 640x480 res and can't be changed back unless I do a list of different rituals. Another bug is that KDE's "Night Color" feature doesn't work, and whenever it turns on it completely freezes the display every few minutes (although unfreezing it is just a matter of pressing the Meta key, so it's not a big deal). I keep sleep and Night Color on, even though they're broken in the hopes that I'll one day wake up to an update that fixed them. I'm 99% sure those are Nvidia driver bugs, and Nvidia has been working to improve their Wayland support recently (for example, there's an upcoming Night Light fix that I'm excited for: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/10/gnome-night-light-nvidia...). Being able to follow progress like this is fun for me. I'm sure there are some other issues that I'm not remembering, but overall the desktop is completely 100% usable and reliable (for both working and gaming). My only other machine is a laptop, and that too is running KDE+Wayland (though no Nvidia). I have not switched back to X11 once in the months (year?) since I switched to Wayland, and have not missed anything. EDIT: also, I should mention that I'm on Fedora Kinoite. I feel like a lot of problems people have with KDE/Wayland/Nvidia comes down to bad configuration somewhere. If you're on a similar machine, I recommend you try switching to Kinoite since it's designed to just work out of the box, and is pretty much impossible to break. |
