From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it possible to run a specific program in Xorg while in Wayland? (lemmy.one)

First of all, I know xWayland already does this when in a Wayland session but RPCS3 (PS3 emulator) runs disgustingly bad inside Wayland on my PC, and during an Xorg session the same emulator runs perfectly, and it's not a FPS issue or framerate, it is a problem that any game is simply unplayable because it suddenly gives stutters that do not exist in Xorg.

KDE Plasma honestly feels extremely buggy and slow on Xorg and so I don't want to use Xorg, I would like to use Wayland and not have to log into an Xorg session every time I want to use RPCS3.

Now, I am using KDE Plasma 5.27 with Wayland and using Nvidia proprietary drivers (515).

(If Linux4Noobs existed on Lemmy I would have posted this there)
