    gnome-minutes? I don't see mention to that software in any of the changelogs. Did you mistype gnome-clocks?

      Just tried GNOME on wayland with radeon/r600 few days ago, performance are just terrible, but before reporting need to rule out driver problems, before 3.24.2 (or maybe 3.24 it did work "well", but in a meantime X and Mesa got updated, so idk what caused it.

        I believe Michael meant gnome-mines.

          Gnome 3.24 is not working out for me too. Must have a few memory leaks, after some hours running, it becomes really sluggish with input lag in gaming.

            I also ran gnome 3.24 on Wayland on r600 hardware and while i would not call the performance terrible, it's definitely worse than on X. In gereral, sluggishness on wayland is to be expected according to: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745032

              i dontg think Wayland is there yet, its gonna take more releases of Wayland to be even at a stable/usable point Game Wise. but even for me in Gnome 3.22 i used to get heaps of flicker , i dunno if thats a Wayland issue only or a Wayland/Nouveau issue ? but IMO opensource drivers are crap

                Performance are not good tho, scratch that "terrible", I'm an idiot, when using X, I use EXA (and DRI2, it's forced by EXA), wayland defaults on DRI3 and glamor (I am not sure if it's even possible to use EXA/DRI2 with it on GNOME? I doubt it is), the problem is that mutter have a "bug" when used with DRI3 and .drirc option ("vblank_mode" value="0"), and in that case mutter does not respect monitor refresh rate to amtch FPS (it defaults at 60FPS), obviously on higher refresh rate, performance will look terrible, setting ("vblank_mode" value="1") would actually solve that problem on DRI3 with mutter for some reason (0=allways disabled, 1=disabled by default), another option is to force clutter to desired FPS=Hz with env. CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=85 (or whatever refresh rate is), but that doesn't solve problem with applications that use "requestAnimationFrame" such as Chromium etc. since it does not respect it in that case.

                I reported that "bug" while ago on GNOME Project, since it happens only with mutter, DRI3 with compiz, metacity and some other WM's works as expected with 0 value, it's only mutter problem ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777796 ).

                Anvil It depends on GPU i guess, with nouveau I didn't even try wayland, but for X it works perfect on my old (and weak GT210) GPU, I don't know how it is for newer GPU's, on the other hand Radeon free drivers are great even for new GPU's.

                  yeah thats what i thought, i have resisted installing F26 at the moment an even if i do i think i will have to install the Nvidia Driver again
