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
By gaming are you gaming on steam or lutris, if yes that is to be expected Wayland in supposed to make performance better. But currently wine doesnt support Wayland natively and hence is currently running on xwayland which is an x11 server running on top of Wayland. Honestly speaking till wine has a Wayland version up and running I would suggest run x11, cuz as I can see you are on a desktop and hence don’t really need 1 to 1 touch pad gestures. (Though I would say once a Wayland version is out wine on wayland would be a lot more superior cuz there would eventually be HDR and other missing features added in it. (Without gamescope that is))
