First of all: I don’t have anything against Wayland. I just wanna play Minecraft occasionally.
I am running Fedora with KDE on some HP workstation with an Nvidia 2060 FE. I am using the proprietary drivers. With the next release of Fedora (and KDE), Wayland will be the only supported Display Manager (as of my understanding). I tried switching to Wayland, but I get some weird black stuttering in Minecraft making it completely unplayable. The bad thing is that with my friends GPU, a GTX 1050, it worked just fine. On my Laptop with just the integrated Graphics too.
Have you got any tips for me? I neither want to switch the distro nor the desktop enviroment, as I’m happy with how it is. I could imagine buying a used amd gpu, but I dont really want to spend a lot of money.
For now, I am just waiting and hoping they’re having it fixed in the release. ** Edit:** thanks for all the help. @Pantherina@feddit.des solution, forcing it to use xwayland made it better, but then i discovered that if I’m in fullscreen, it works perfectly fine, also without xwayland. It seems like a really dumb solution, and i’m not quite happy with it, but hey, if it works, don’t touch it.
tl;dr: In fullscreen it works just fine
At today’s FESCo meeting, we agreed on the following proposal:
AGREED: KDE packages which reintroduce support for X11 are allowed in the main Fedora repositories, however they may not be included by default on any release-blocking deliverable (ISO, image, etc.). The KDE SIG should provide a notice before major changes, but is not responsible for ensuring that these packages adapt. Upgrades from F38 and F39 will be automatically migrated to Wayland. (+5, 0, -1)
For additional clarification: this means that all users performing upgrades MUST be migrated to the Wayland session. They then MAY opt-in to the X11 session by installing a package for that purpose. We are explicitly not providing detailed technical implementation requirements here, but we expect all parties to follow the spirit of this decision when making technical decisions.
