    As someone with a GTX 1080 running GNOME Wayland for at least the last four years, why is everyone claiming the sky is falling on Nvidia users with this change? Do you actually use Nvidia to be saying we’ll have a bad time? Sure the support is miles better on AMD, but it’s not absolutely borked. For me it’s on par with my X11 experience, because both sessions have weird Nvidia support quirks tbh.

      on a 2070 i get stuttery(er) performance and small hangs on the desktop, noticeably.higher latency and issues with rendering windows sometimes. games and ai work as expected.

      i guess it depends on the hardware and or combination

      Same here. I have a few applications that I had to specifically turn on Wayland support for (Thunderbird & Vivaldi, for instance), and a lot that work just fine, and the ones I have issues with are mostly the X-only apps running on Xwayland, which tend to be less stable than they were directly under X, but there are only a few that I still use.
