I tried Wayland again on my Vega and I see that the input delay dilemma is solved, but I do want to buy a new GPU and thinking Nvidia. Also a year ago I tried a GT 710 I had to see if the situation was that bad with general support. Since then I have seen that the situation is way better now. Last time I had Nvidia on Linux(for games) was with the GTX 800m series years ago and that was obviously on Xorg. What is the experience with RTX cards gaming on Wayland right now?
How did you fix the flickering steam?
Disable UI hardware acceleration in the Steam interface settings.
Such a classic solution. Just turning off the most important cpu offhanding settings.
I haven’t fixed it, it mostly goes away on its own after a while. And It doesn’t bother me that much as I switch to another workspace when not playing anything.
It isn’t a Steam problem. It’s happening due to the lack of implicit sync in the NVIDIA driver. This will be fixed only if explicit sync protocol is merged in Wayland Protocols, XWayland and the functionality is implemented in the compositors and NVIDIA driver.
