Hey, I am fairly new to linux and have recently bought a new monitor to do some more gaming with. Though I have been annoyed with wayland having the support for the monitor but x11 actually running games at 165 or higher fps. My specs are

  • AMD ryzen 7 5700x (with hyper threading so we got 16 cores active)
  • Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 12 gig
  • Asrock b450m-hdv r4.0
  • 16 gigs of ddr4 memory
  • Samsung 980 pro (nvme)
  • Lexar SSD (i dunno which one but my games are on the samsung drive)
  • A 2 terrabyte harddrive with a name i have no clue
  • KDE plasma 5.27.9
  • Wayland
  • Using Fedora 39 workstation
  • the latest current nvidia drivers (535.129.03)

If you guys could help improve wayland performance or find solutions to make x11 work better with multi monitor support I will probably never think about windows again lol

      i tried getting the 545 drivers, however they werent in the dnf repos and the .run file from nvidias site wouldn’t work. I will try once they are out of beta though

        As a tip: Never install using Nvidia’s .run script, always use your distro’s package manager.

        Not meaning to have a dig, but downloading direct from Nvidia and using the .run script can result in important libraries being overwritten and totally hose your DE.

        Just a handy pointer.

          Where do I read more about this?
