Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
I've been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).
I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn't go nuts either.
Made me think maybe people aren't actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

Interested to hear you use it with Nvidia - I was led to understand it didn't play well with Nvidia.
I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes with my card.
I can only speak for the desktop, not laptops, when I say it works perfectly on Gnome and KDE and even Hyprland which doesn't even officially support Nvidia hardware. That said, for the first time in two years I started having big issues with a few games (though, I don't play a large number of games so take this with a grain of salt). Right now, I have an xorg session on the side to play those games. Although, I'm starting to notice it's missing some things from Wayland that I've gotten accustomed to.
Wayland is expected to get much, much better when the 555 drivers drop explicit support in May and when proton enables the wine wayland drivers.
