Okay, i'll give it a spin.

But the issue is that we X11 users are discouraged of posting bugs if we can't reproduce them in wayland.

I have a NVidia card, there is no way i will install a wayland instance of KDE just to see if the bug i have on X11 is also there.

@RandomLegend @zeroxoneafour

You just need to logout and login with the Wayland session, maybe with another user...

i mean the issue is with my NVidia card. God knows what other issues i will face on wayland with that.

I know that it's easy to just switch to wayland, but going into a minefield of potential bugs to find out if that one bug from X11 also appears there...hmm

I actually use Nvidia on Wayland (prime with Intel mostly). It’s really not as bad as people say.

"not as bad" or actually flawless? 🤕

That's my issue - my X11 runs perfect at this point. I have my dual monitor 144Hz and 60Hz Setup running tearfree and low-latency. Don't know why i should switch to wayland if it doesn't bring me anything
