For sure, previously I never really had an okay time with Nvidia + Wayland, but I finally got to try out Fedora Kinoite (via Universal Blue, so the Nvidia drivers are already in the image) and the experience is way smoother than I've had on other distros.
I still had the issue with Discord and getting lag while typing, but that seems to be fixed by disabling hardware acceleration in the advanced settings - though I suspect this will still occur in other Electron apps (which thankfully I do not use too many of). Other than that, my experience seems to be the same as what Lojcs mentioned (along with Night Light not working, but that's 100% an Nvidia driver issue since it doesn't support
GAMMA_LUT
under Wayland yet).I'm so far cautiously optimistic to see if it continues to run decently, as in the past when I've used Wayland, when it worked it was definitely smoother than X was.
Plasma 6 supposedly has a workaround for the night light. Not sure why they aren't backporting it
Ah, I thought I saw something about that mentioned. I'll be happy to see it, I think KDE 5.x is effectively "done" which might be why it's not getting backported (though I'd still really love to see it happen if they change their minds).
For now I got some of those glasses that have the tinting on the lenses - I think they are branded as "gamer glasses" or something like that, but as silly as it sounds it's actually not bad.
Plus, on the upside apparently I look really good with glasses ha!
