Now that it's been some time since Nvidia open-sourced the drivers, what's the Waylandies excuse for it still working like shit on Nvidia gpus?
>>102469449Funnily enough, it worked much better on Wayland than X11 when I tried it.
>>102469556>it's a lottery if a clipboard works in apps>same with drag and drop>clipboard can stop working completely>some apps have random graphical glitches when resizing(notably brave)>locking screen on 2 display setup can completely break one screen, requiring a restartthat's just out of the top of my head, bugs I've encountered on a single day of using wayland
>>102469633>bugs I've encountered on a single day of using waylandTwenty years ago? Because I tested it with a 4060 (LP model, the best thing you can get for a SFF PC, DESU) just a month ago, and it was buttery smooth. 555 drivers fixed all of that which you described.
>>102469661Like a week ago? I've tried these 555 drivers and they didn't fix jack shit
>>102469449No drivers.
>>102469678What DE? I used KDE, and boy was the X session laggy as fuck.
>>102469714There's a bug on kde on X that causes the lagginess, idk what causes it but I've seen other anons reporting it tooI guess it boils down to a bad/good install, since I couldn't find other reasons
>>102469449Just werks on my machine
>>102469449they did? fucking finally. I hated them so much for not having done that sooner
>>102469740>I guess it boils down to a bad/good installYeah, probably. Or nasty distros, bc I never had any bugs on Wayland on Arch since 555 drivers landed.
>>102469748Only the kernel module. Granted, now that GSP is out of the driver, Nouveau chads can make games and even reclocking work via NVK.
>>102469449Nvidia has not open sourced their drivers. All the meat got moved into user space and onto the gpu firmware. The "drivers" are just glue that does very little.
>>102469449I still get flickering with nvidia on wayland, running on a laptop with a dedicated nvidia gpu (when selecting the nvidia gpu as the primary gpu) running kde plasma. It's running arch linux so it also has the latest drivers.
>>102469633sucks being a DE loser then
>>102469449works on my gtx 1080 better than X11 does, the only thing it can't do now is VRR with more than 1 monitor attached, but then X11 could never do that
>>102469633>locking screen on 2 display setup can completely break one screen, requiring a restartOh yeah I experienced this too. I couldn't do anything to get back on, i had to force restart the computer
Its almost there but not quite. High refresh rate monitors still flicker, especially when changing workspaces. Happens across pretty much all i've tested, which is KDE, Gnome and Hyprland. Firefox has a stutter with nvidia on initial scroll but is fine right after. Its highly annoying if you're trying to read documentation as the whole browser stutters every time you infrequently scroll. Nvidia tooling sucks compared to nvidia-settings on X, not sure when that is going to get better. Overall, its fine if you can look past the stupid glitches still, dont believe anyone that tells you its perfect, its not.
