Plasma Wayland works okay for me on my laptop, I've been using it for about 4 months now with fractional scaling through Kscreen doctor. The only major issue i have left is that windows like to randomly loose focus. Firefox is the most annoying when it happens, because I'll be browsing the web and right click a link, only for it to loose focus and i can't do anything until i minimize/restore the window a few times to regain mouse/keyboard focus.

is incredible as gtx 1650 super 12nm use at max around 100w and rx 5500 7nm at max use 135w / 170w (furmark)
before situation dont look good because amd dont make offer same nvidia 12nm efficiency still using 7nm
7nm ampere nvidia must be put amd in serious troubles specially in efficiency
maybe amd can offer better prices for example: rx 5500 4gb at 120us and rx 5500 8gb at 150us will be interesting
back to wayland dont matter for now, maybe in future when more apps stay properly supported

There is simply no alternative to Nvidia for performance, feature set and efficiency. Whether you like it or not, this is the fact .Maybe your iGPU or your Radeon HD5870 is enough for your use case, but for most people there is no alternative to Nvidia hence until wayland supports it, it will remain a silly joke.

But to be fair, Nvidia support is not a problem with Wayland, but with Wayland implementations. Weston used GBM and somehow the whole world got stuck on that. That's the real problem. Gnome yielded eventually and implemented EGL Streams support, but I think KDE still doesn't want to do that.

It just works really poorly with broken Xwayland at the moment (no hw acceleration).Last edited by Britoid; 29 December 2019, 09:16 PM.

Here's to looking to ten more years when Wayland as a fully functional default display server is only another 10 more years out from that point! Wayland 2040.Last edited by kenjitamura; 29 December 2019, 09:13 PM.

EDIT: The same is also true in reference to KDE, kwin is the thing. Wayland is implemented, but there is quite a lot more work that needs done so that kwin is fully functional with wayland support so that KDE can be complete.Last edited by duby229; 30 December 2019, 01:44 AM.
