It turned out to be more stable than I expected.

      NVIDIA is still used by people. There shouldn’t be a push for Wayland if Wayland doesn’t work on hardware that majority of people use.

      I myself am on full AMD hardware, yet won’t switch to Wayland unless there is an actual reason to do so. X works just fine for me.

        Developers can do whatever the hell they like with their own software and shouldn’t let themselves be beholden to Nvidia.

        Nvidia is being dragged kicking and screaming into using something that everyone else decided was the standard years ago, and that’s a good thing.

        The devs aren’t anybody’s lackeys either. Many are doing it for free in their own time. If you dont want Wayland, then support X11 with code, money, or documentation. If you don’t support the X11 devs and maintainers, then you’re making a decision to let it die and nobody’s “forcing you” to use Wayland.

        Have fun with Xorg. I hope it works well for you forever. Truly.

        I see no reason why hardware support should get any worse for you so no problems there. And it will be a while yet before most apps stop running on Xorg.

        The 78 percent of us using Wayland don’t need updates though. Thanks.

      I also had some problems with my nvidia gpu around a year ago when I switched over to linux.

      I’m not sure whether this was wayland specific, but when the GPU’s clock speed would jump up after some time of inactivity it would cause this sort of stutter / lag for that 1 second of transition. Was really annoying, I had to change the minimum clock speed, it did help. I eventually switched to a AMD gpu and everything worked perfectly without me needing to do anything.

      And in general I had a couple of more problems with some electron apps back then (Obsidian), that did not work well when forced to run wayland. Though this was probably not nvidia specific. Eventually I remember finding some sort of fix for it by setting some obscure environment variable that I found on hyprlands discord that was recently made available.

      The only gpu i had problems with on fedora was a Intel B580. Both nvidia and amd worked just fine

      right. I got an AMD and the driver is utter shit. I had to disable features using kernel cmdline bitmask flags, so that it doesn’t crash every 2 hours. wayland + amd classic.

      never had compositor or display server issues with nvidia on linux.

    ArchLinux has been very stable for me, as long as I did not choose BTRFS as my filesystem during the install process.

    I did have a few problems with the major overhaul of KDE, but I super enjoy the new look and feel. I’m not sure if Arch being a rolling release allowed me to have the latest KDE faster, but I’m glad I have it.

        I can go weeks, dozens of sleep cycles and never see a hint of instability with my Arch daily driver. It only needs a reboot after update and didn’t even ask for it.

        My windows computer (work, 2025 lenovo, fresh install) can’t make it an hour without explorer crashing. They also fucked up task manager… The latest new bug is right and left click getting swapped requiring a reboot. I never imagined that was even possible.
