I’ve been using Wayland sessions as default since plasma 5.22 came around, and with other window managers before that too. Everything that has ever been broken for me, was broken because of X11 or XWayland. I’d rather take a considerably better experience with an occasional issue, that an experience that is held together by candy wrappers and hot glue, and is widely considered obsolete
Im in the same boat. Been using wayland since around that version or a little later and it has only been uphill (except for right now since i am on the development build and Qt broke itself causing the system config menu to fail to load 80% of KCMs, but this is my fault for switching to alpha software lol)
I literally just stopped using it yesterday but can’t remember why. I also think it had something to do with not being able to copy/paste. I know I also didn’t love that it doesn’t seem to have a memory function, though nor does the app I replaced it with.
I have been using wayland on kde the last two years on Debian and MX Linux with zero issues. My general usa includes coding, music production, Libre office and web browsing. So, no much gaming, if that is your concern.
Yes, that escape on spectacle is literally my workflow; I take a lot of screenshots and that change was the only thing I did not like about this newest Ubuntu update.
Xorg has no fractonal scaling so I have been uaing wayland since I have switched to linux on nvidia and yes I use it for gaming. Not silky smooth but great so far.
Having an Nvidia-card, should I be worried about this? So far I’ve read so many “Nvidia bad, Wayland no work” posts that I have just stayed clear waiting for a final confirmation that everything is smooth sailing.
I’ve been using Wayland on Nvidia with plasma for about a year and it’s been mostly fine. Only a few minor issues like night color not working or some Xwayland apps flickering, but the system feels far more responsive on Wayland so it’s well worth it to me
On much more recent driver versions Wayland support has been further improved. I suggest going with Fedora Silverblue since RPM Fusion is pretty quick to roll out new driver versions.
Having swapped to Linux on Pop OS and later onto Nobara recently, I strongly disagree.
As my personal experience on 525, 535 and even beta 545 with a 3080, so much as swapping onto a Wayland session implied lag, screen tearing issues, and stability issues / crashes on KDE and GNOME, to the point that I ended up selling the 3080 for a 7900 XTX because of how everyone said the AMD experience is so much better and it is.
True that I havent tested it on a laptop so maybe Optimus support from Nvidia or the latest drivers have added stability overall, but this was definitely a problem in desktop for the last months to me.
Not sure if renaming “Extrakt here, autodetect subfolder” to “Extraxt here” is a smart move …
Sure, you’d find out that it does detect subfolders now even though it doesn’t say it but if I had not read this I would probably have assumed the removee the subfolder detection
