This merge resquest has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!

      You can’t deny their support for Wayland has been steadily improving with the latest driver releases. In fact it’s already in a good state if it weren’t for the flickering in certain applications caused by these issues with explicit sync which are currently being addressed.

    am I correct to assume this is the thing that’ll fix eg. Steam going full seizure mode under wayland + nvidia?

        Exactly that. Awesome and thanks.

        Now, aggressive waiting for the updates begins

      That’s true, but thankfully it’s already been merged in mutter and is underway in kwin.

      The code for GNOME has already been merged, KDE has a merge request open for it too, Mesa also already has it merged in.

        Who thought individual compositors having to re-implement base features individually and over and over again would be a good idea?

        Same with the dozens of different protocols and portals and all the other magic bullshit. Once feature-complete with X11,Wayland will be of same complexity.

      It’s definitely a large leep, but it’s not going to solve everything. I’d say it brings us to ~85% completion. There’s still a lot of smaller issues in need of fixing, and some issues unique to specific problem cards. Nvidia needs to put in that last 10% and the community needs to put in that last 4%. The 1% are the tiny bugs spread across the ecosystem that’ll get fixed overtime.

      Are you sure that’s not because it’s running at a very low frequency?

        Not sure how to check, still fairly new.

        I did notice the temperatures though. The card normally idles at 30-40c having anything open after a while will have it cooking at 75ish. I would expect it to be in the 50s after a few hours of youtube, or pushing 90-100 gaming. No issues on the Windows half of the install. From what I could piece together it dose seem to be related to Wayland and the drivers. I was thinking of waiting till Nobara updates and hope it goes away.

        Seems if I have anything opened and on screen like firefox or the file browser, it gets toasty.

          If it’s reaching those temps then the answer is probably no. Hope you find a solution
