Hello there! I was using Wayland for quite a while and things are more or less smooth (NVIDIA proprietary driver). I think it’s time for Manjaro to move to Wayland by default for both Plasma session and SDDM. Here’s small FAQ regarding the change: Q: How can I check if I’m using Wayland? A: Check About this System in System Settings. Q: How could I try Wayland? A: Log out from your session and select a Plasma (Wayland) desktop session for the next log in. Q: What hardware is supported? ...

    They are all planning to move to Wayland, even the OS’s. Gnome first, KDE is still untangling X11 from Kwin, but expected to drop it with KDE7. It is time.

    A year ago when I was looking at linux for gaming what I kept hearing is that Wayland wasn’t ready. I’ve been running Nobara 42 with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland for about a month now and it’s been great, now I hear Gnome is dropping X11 support, etc. What changed?

      Wayland had/has a couple of missing features. Personally, it’s nothing I use so I’ve been on Wayland for years now, but if you care about those missing features, then they won’t work.

      Honestly I don’t even remember what they were anymore. I think screen capture was a big one though.

        Screen capture in what way? Cause spectacle works fine for screenshots, I can stream video on discord, etc, so I’ve not run into a screen capture related issue.

    My Manjaro desktop already migrated.

    I decided to install Plasma next to XFCE to see if I liked it. Then I thought I might as well try Wayland too.

    Turns out the combo works great, even with games and Steam, so I’m quite happy with it.
