    Driving an AE86 apparently feels just like using wayland with NVIDIA (feddit.de)

    RTX 2080 here, and this is the major blocker for me with Nvidia + Wayland: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1317

    This issue causes XWayland apps to effectively render previous frames very sporadically, and it's especially very noticeable in Electron apps. Discord for example, sometimes someone will send a message and the message will appear, then disappear, then reappear, then disappear over and over again until it finally syncs back up. The user isn't actually deleting and resending their message of course, but the render state of the app is basically "jumping backwards through time".

    Tried out the 544 beta driver, and while we did get Night Light/Color support (and that incessant top-screen flicker bug was fixed, occurred in both Wayland and X11), I started to notice the aforementioned issue heavily occurring in IntelliJ which is a Java based development tool which unfortunately is the final deal breaker for me since I can't really work when I write a line of code, and it disappears, reappears, disappears, then reappears again.

    This only occurs via XWayland, and surprisingly games don't seem to get hit with it (in my case) so I suppose if you only use Wayland native apps like a web browser then it's fine - otherwise, it makes things very difficult. It also occurs on both Mutter (GNOME) and KWin (KDE) but I imagine there isn't a compositor where this doesn't happen due to what causes the actual problem in the first place.

    After trying the 545 beta and the problem getting worse, it's put the nail in the coffin for me on Nvidia and I'll be picking up a 6700XT after my next paycheck comes in. It is a beta driver yes, but the root of the issue is due to the architecture of their driver which isn't going to be magically redone in between the beta and "stable" release.

    So, no - I wish it was just a circlejerk, and realistically I can't see how it'd end up being this popular if it was just user error.

    Fair point, I have probably experienced this as I had weird input issues on native linux discord, I switched to WebCord, which solved the issue. before I pinpointed the issue, so I had no clue it is specific to nvidia + wayland.

    And yes, I specifically mentioned I use my PC recreationally to point out that my usecases are not too specific, so maybe I do not see the issues because of that.
