Time to make SDDM greeter Wayland by default as well!
Please please please please…
I’ve tried running Plasma 5 on Wayland occasionally but due to having NVIDIA card there’s always been bigger or smaller annoying issues so I always reverted back to X11.
Looking forward to try out Plasma 6 as soon as it’s released!
i have a rtx3080ti and am using KDE plasma 5 wayland on Fedora 38(now 39) exclusively for gaming. i made the switch to wayland a month or so ago and i am having a considerably smoother experience than x11. especially with multiple monitors and flatpack apps like discord in the mix.(steam is running native though). no issues that i am aware of so far
Are you the other one, then? I swear to god I haven’t had a single major issue with Wayland on any of my devices [Intel and Nvidia]. It feels like I’m being gaslit about how terrible Wayland is.
Meanwhile Wayland absolutely hates my year old AMD laptop. It hangs itself on a regular basis, some applications go completely unresponsive every so often to the point they need to be kill -9’ed. Rock solid when running X11, completely unreliable in Wayland. It’s a shame, I want to like Wayland as I think there is no future for X11, but as it stands currently I simply cannot use it yet for my day to day business.
Which processor/distro/DE are you on? My AMD laptop is an year old as well and I’ve had zero issues with Wayland.
Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U / Fedora 38 / KDE (Wayland)
What are the errors you’re seeing in the journal?
Weird, I have a less extreme, but opposite experience. More stuff works better on Wayland for my laptop (Debian 12 + KDE, Ryzen 5500u)
Be the change you want to see in the world. File a ticket and work with them to hunt down the problem. Who knows, it could be simple.
Just tried it yesterday. It is a LOT more smooth for me, but it can’t seem to handle 144hz. I turned it down to 60hz and it seems to be going well for now. I can live with this I think.
I’ve tried running Plasma 5 on Wayland occasionally but due to having NVIDIA card there’s always been bigger or smaller annoying issues so I always reverted back to X11.
Yeah, I tried it again this morning and got a black screen with mouse trails. I also have an Nvidia card and will give it another go when Plasma 6 comes out.
In the meantime please share that these issues exist on nvidia forums. Issues caused by nvidia drivrers shouldn’t come under the purview of the kde devs.
Can’t even login on my desktop on Wayland. Kwin crashes immediately.
I have a 1050ti BTW X11 runs like a champ.
Same. Really wanted to give Wayland a chance, but having artifacts on blurry windows where the cursor was is just too annoying for me. Plasma team is already aware of the issue but said it’s too huge of a change for 5.x
To be honest, X11 is not terrible, even with multiple monitors with different refresh rates. I’m running 2x 60Hz and 1x 144Hz without any problems on X11.
I’m also on NVIDIA, I tried the Plasma 6 Alpha last night (on KDE neon unstable) and to my utter shock, Wayland was pretty goddamn close to flawless.
Ayo no more ugly frame in dolphin, less goooo
Wayland by default
🎉🎉🎉
The Breeze app style has gotten the visual overhaul you’ve all dreamed of: no more frames within frames!
Yeah, it regularly appears in my nightmares /s. Sorry Carl, but I’m gonna have to patch this out. I hope this will get a config option like the change to the Dolphin details view that made the click area to open a file span the whole row (doesn’t look like it’s configurable as of now). I kept patches to undo that for a while as well…
Spectacle has gained support for rectangular region screen recording!
Oooh, I’ve been waiting for that. Very cool! Now I hopefully don’t have to fiddle around with OBS anymore to record a section of the screen.
Is there a way to restore scrollbars to their normal width?
HDR availability is huge
Awesome,.all of it!
Can we now also focus on stabilizing everything? For the past 5-10 years, my personal KDE experience ws either features disappearing (i still mourn my Desktop cube) or just random shit.not working for years. I got to the point where a few months ago I seriously started to consider cinnamon, what are you doing to me?
Any indication on if and when the desktop cube will return ?
Apparently, that will arrive with Plasma 6.
It says "Version Fixed In: 6.0” here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883
And the last comment in there, does also specify so.Apparently, this is now part of
kdeplasma-addons
, so this might be in a separate package, which may not be pre-installed by your distro. I really don’t know, if it means anything, but Nate felt it worth mentioning here: https://pointieststick.com/2023/10/27/these-past-2-weeks-in-kde-wayland-color-management-the-desktop-cube-returns-and-optional-shadows-in-spectacle/
Wanted to find out since when a System Sound kcm exists, found out that LibreOffice is in some way connected to freedesktop.
I want to play Diablo 4 in Linux with good performance.
@nyakojiru @MazonnaCara89 so i want to play cs:2 without performance disruption
