Tried KDE wayland a month ago or so and quickly hopped back to X session due to huge cursors and opening the launcher caused the system to slow down to a crawl. Never bothered to look into any of it, but I believe they were known issues. Hopefully Plasma 5.13 will be usable for daily use.

If you think about it, it makes 100% sense.

Originally posted by sunweb View PostYou need to tell more than "Tried KDE wayland a month ago or so", a version atleast. Plasma 5.12 solved the big cursor for me on multiple different machines with different GPUs and iGPUs from AMD and Intel. And i've never experienced any slowdowns, in fact animations become faster, are you running Nvidia?
I wasn't seeking help; I was simply stating my experience.

what about xwayland games grabbing and locking the cursor on games and making it an unpleasant experience? Why is that not fixed? is such an obvious bug and it affects games in a very evident way.
Edit: He talks about it at the end of the article, cool. Still, I wish that were fixed for the next version so kwin wayland were usable.Last edited by edoantonioco; 22 April 2018, 10:58 AM.
