Is it just me, or are you folks running Wayland with no issues? I’ve even forgotten I was on Wayland until I looked at the settings the other day. I have all AMD, btw. I have zero issues so far. Anyone else?

The only issues I had were due to fractional scaling (blurry apps, especially Electron based ones; and windows opening or moving to weird edges, where I can’t move them anymore).

But those were already a few months or a year ago, and since I switched from Gnome to KDE 6, I have zero issues, neither on my laptop (integrated on CPU), nor on my desktop with an AMD GPU.

And even over a year, almost two, ago, Wayland has been very smooth for me. I used Gnome for most of the time, which has always been very solid with Wayland. KDE has been a bit more janky in the past, but nowadays, Wayland feels way smoother and polished than X11 for me.

I actually forgot to mention that the only issues I have are some of my favorite apps/features just don’t work on Wayland. example, superpaper is an app that I use to span wallpapers across both of my monitors. It doesn’t work as well as on x11. It does work, but I’d have to launch it from the terminal every single time I reboot. Also, it’s tray icon doesn’t show up. Betterbird email client’s “close to minimize” feature doesn’t work on Wayland. Even the developers basically told me to kick rocks when I reported it on GitHub and said that working with Wayland is a nightmare for them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I occasionally have copy/paste issues, but it’s most often with electron apps as well.
