KDE Plasma 6 goes Wayland by default, initial HDR gaming support
15 Nov 2023 at 5:28 am UTC

Quoting: enigmaxg2Since the vast majority of GPUs out there are Nvidia, and it's known how bad they play with Wayland, I see this as a risky move.
Well the latest NVIDIA driver 545.x do work with Wayland now and quite well. However often if not always the MODULES for it to work under Wayland are not setup by default so it leaves loads of people with crashing or black screen on login.

I have a 4090 and everything in wayland is smooth as butter except for one major thing, and that is fullscreen apps, those need Explicit Sync which is not yet fully supported outside of experimental patch support that you only get access to if you really look for them. (and know howto install them)

GNOME atm seems to be offering better performance for NVIDIA customers where as Plasma Wayland still has some performance issues and non existent experimental support for explicit sync.

Games run fine in windows btw. Also Gamescope 3.13 broke nvidia support somehow so use 3.12 (if you even want to use that, it doesn't fix the Massive tearing issues)

Why they do that? these wars are making a certain group of people/businesses serious coin!

Money before lives, that is the world we live in. The reality nobody wants to talk about.

NVIDIA driver 545.29.02 out for Linux plus other releases due to security issues

if someone tries the deepcolor mode out could they report their experiences? Probably works best in Wayland.

Might cause all sorts of issues since linux has been 8bit for so long most software just never even bothered with upward compatibility.

Still loads of Whales left in the ocean to keep the SC train going.

At least us who are not worshiping the ground SC walks on by buying all the ships will maybe get a game to play in the end with SQ42.

Hmmm. This game struggles to get past 30fps on a 4090 at 4k without using Frame Generation.

I wonder how it runs on SteamDeck?

Quoting: EhvisCould it be Valve saying to Apple to "support Vulkan or get left behind"?
Apple only sees one thing, and that is gross profit, grofit!
