Curious from people who follow its development closely.

  • What protocol are about to be finally implemented?
  • Which ones are still a struggle?
  • How many serious protocols are there missing?

    HDR is only experimental on gnome and kde with weston not having an implementation.

    I think 10 bit color depth hasn’t even been worked on much.

    VRR I think is about finished although X11 has it too.

    And the Nvidia wayland support is slowly improving although still full of bugs and stability issues.

      With explicit the protocol and the Nvidia patch for it next July, most Nvidia problems will be solved

    Yes

    Even on Nvidia. I’m on NixOS w/ Hyprland on a RTX 3080 in reverse sync on a multimonitor setup, and have no issues.

    Everything just works most of the time. When it doesn’t, updating the driver usually fixes the issue.

    please don’t post that site. I just need a few more things to work well with Wayland like Nvidia Drivers.

        is there compositor support? is there a way to get kde to rotate my monitor to a specific degree via cli?

        keep in mind I have no idea if there are real use cases for diagonal monitors, I just duct taped an accelerometer to the back of my monitor and can only get it to rotate in 90 degree increments with kscreendoctor and thought it would be funny if the picture was just always upright

    I’m using it on Plasma 6 with AMD graphics and so far it’s going good. When I had Nvidia I had issues with electron based applications. Games have been running pretty good regardless of the GPU, though Forza horizon 5 wouldn’t launch under Nvidia for some reason.

    XFCE doesn’t support it yet so I’m not on it.

    Also last I tried, autoclickers weren’t working

    I’m still struggling with remote desktop software and other alternatives such as sunshine. KDE connect input sharing is inconsistent on wayland, but they will probably fix that eventually. xwaylandvideobridge is great when it works, but currently has an issue with eating input invisibly. Also, some things just seem to be kinda wonky. For example screen sharing portal when sharing my screen in a browser seems to open twice. Same with obs. Still no good virtual keyboard. If onboard worked on wayland that would be perfect.

    Already daily driving it on my laptop, which uses AMD graphics, and my work laptop, which uses Intel graphics. For Nvidia, there’s missing explicit sync (which should be fixed soon), and Steam completely freaking out (might get fixed by explicit sync). Kwin also seems a bit unstable on Nvidia, but I haven’t tested it for extended periods of time.

    I also have a computer with display on an Nvidia card via reverse prime, which suffers performance issues on Wayland. Might be improved on Plasma 6, but that computer runs OpenSUSE Leap, so it won’t get that for some time.

    There is also the issue of picture-in-picture, but that can be worked around with Kwin rules.

    On KDE Plasma, my only outstanding bug is that the “window shade” button on my window controls is broken. Too bad since I use that feature a lot.

    On GNOME everything seems to work as far as I can tell. It’s pretty smooth!

      The window shade problem is keeping me from Wayland. AFAIU there’s currently no commitment to ever fix it on Wayland, it’s only a maybe.

      For anyone interested, it’s being tracked here.

        I remember a showstopper a while back being that you can’t resize the title bar while shaded. That’s already the current behavior on x11, so I would be fine with that caveat continuing if it meant wayland support.

    I use an accessibility tool called Talon Voice. It is x.org only. Will the shift to Wayland kill these tools, or is it a case of the developer needing to rewrite for wayland?

    That site’s great.

    The main thing I wish for is for ffmpeg to start supporting the wlroots screengrabbing api.
