Wayland is buggy as hell for me. Im not particularly invested in X11 but at least it works.


Nvidia GPU? Their drivers have been broken on Linux for a long time now. I've had no bugs on my steam deck or on asahi linux with wayland.


Are simple things like screensharing working now, without crashing in the worst possible moments?


I was under the impression that PipeWire fixed all issues with both screen sharing and desktop audio when it was introduced years ago.


I screenshare on Wayland on Microsoft Teams of all things without issues.

Buy supported GPUs.


I have a RTX 5060TI that works smooth as butter on Arch+X11. Mix of office tasks, gaming on 1440p and AI workloads all without issues.


Steamdeck doesn't use Wayland.


Gamescope, the main compositor of Steam Deck (the one that drives Gaming Mode), uses Wayland. It is just the desktop mode that doesn't.
