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?
I still have graphical issues, even just doing basic stuff like moving Dolphin/terminal windows around on the desktop or browsing the internet. There is still no support or alternative for GreenWithEnvy on Wayland, which I depend on. Seems okayish for gaming, but I still get random screen flashes and stuff. X11 works wayyy better for me on Fedora KDE 39.
Hey, that’s my concern as well… been looking at a gpu purchase - even used - for a while though and on the fence - because of the Nvidia/Wayland thing - really annoying. I want an AMD gpu but I only game occasionally - and the software I want to use - has an Nvidia-edge / advantage to it - ppl typically buy Nvidia gpus for it - Blender, Davinci Resolve - I dunno if other video editing software takes advantage of AMD components but an Nvidia gpu is better for all of that. If Blender support improved with AMD gpus - especially the 7900 series, I’d save up for a 7900 XTX or something.
A used 3090 is $300 cheaper and that’s significant, right?!?
Anyway, the main reason to reply to your post is to show you this:
