This merge resquest has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!

Dose this mean using the desktop at all will not take half my GPU?

Are you sure that's not because it's running at a very low frequency?

Not sure how to check, still fairly new.

I did notice the temperatures though. The card normally idles at 30-40c having anything open after a while will have it cooking at 75ish. I would expect it to be in the 50s after a few hours of youtube, or pushing 90-100 gaming. No issues on the Windows half of the install. From what I could piece together it dose seem to be related to Wayland and the drivers. I was thinking of waiting till Nobara updates and hope it goes away.

Seems if I have anything opened and on screen like firefox or the file browser, it gets toasty.

If it's reaching those temps then the answer is probably no. Hope you find a solution

That's wast I was thinking. Hopefully, if I ignore it long enough it will go away with an update.
