So with this new nvidia 555 driver, I though why not try wayland again. They saying it is a huge improvement. And it is…
Last year (2023.Oct) it was a real garbage. Window opening and closing took forever, (like half of a minute) if they closed and not frozed. Sometimes the application closed, but it was still there on the desktop like a wallpaper. So basically it was useless with my 1050ti.
But now i still can’t believe that i’m saying this…, but it’s working.
Well almost.
The only issue is with steam gaming. At least i’am currently gaming only on steam. So all the windows opening-closing issue is gone. Everithing is gone and fast as in x11. Seems to working fine except gaming. The client working fine, tha game starting and working fine for about 30minutes. But after that lag lag lag and lag and even more lag. Sometimes opening the game menu and wait couple seconds cure the lag, but few minutes later it’s there again. More you play, more the lag. It is still a disaster, and i still need nvidia. And no, not gonna by amd just for wayland.
With x11 if i wanna i could play a whole day without lag.
Hope you are not gonna toss x11 in the corner anytime soon.
It’s needed.
