    I have a older desktop running a Nvidia GPU. It’s fast and works pretty well but I’m stuck in X11. I just don’t have the energy to drive into the forums and see why Wayland isn’t working.

    I want a Stream Deck mostly because Valve’s support behind supporting the device.

      I’m using Nvidia with Wayland without any issues. What’s the problem exactly?

          I’m not defending Nvidia, but my Nvidia laptop works prefectly fine with Wayland. And then I wanted to play games so I bought an egpu enclosure and put 1080ti in there and it worked prefectly fine OOB. Then I wanted to upgrade so I put 7900xtx in there and no driver, version, config or voodoo allowed me to use it.

          Not to mention VERY limited compatibility with ML libraries.

            So, I don’t really understand this, but., why use Wayland? All I ever read about with it is problems about compatibility and functionality. I don’t understand what the benefits are. Or what it does that do different than x

              Personally its been snapper with transitions, supports independent display scaling, waydroid, and hopefully soon easy to use compositor handoffs - which would be a game changer
