I've been using wayland with Gnome for years without a single issue. Arguably my hardware is a lot simpler and I don't use Nvidia. But I just want to point out that, for all the flak wayland receives, it can work quite well. | ||

Me too. But first with Sway in 2016, then with KDE Plasma 6. Everything works flawless, everything runs in native Wayland except Steam games. I prefer AMD or Intel hardware over NVIDIA since forever. | ||

I've maybe used Wayland on Gnome for 1-2 years at this point, always with nvidia hardware. Works OK now, but didn't 2 years ago, and before that, used to be very janky, today is smoother than Xorg. But at this point, I don't think there is a single blocker left for me. Took some time to rewrite some programs that I have to control their own window position and wants to see what other applications are running, but was easy to work around with a Gnome Shell Extension in the end, as the design of Wayland doesn't really "allow" those sort of things. I'm having more issues with games/websites/programs that didn't take high display refresh rate into account, than Wayland, at this point. | ||

I remember having a gentleman over I think to fix something or other and when he walked into the living room he explained my crt monitor was misconfigured and to his perception had a visible flicker. We checked it and it was indeed misconfigured although I couldn't see it but it was such an aberration to him that he took time away from his actual job to make the flicker go away. You will also note many items in the post above are papercuts that might go unnoted like input feeling a little worse or font issues. | ||
