A good sign. Other community distros have already done that, but this is a good sign to the larger community that Wayland is basically ready for prime time.

Am I going to have a bad time trying to switch to Wayland? I just use discord, Spotify, steam, some basic steam games, Krita, and emacs

Screen sharing on Discord with Wayland kinda sucks at the moment, but I believe that's moreso Discord's fault for not updating Electron or something along those lines.

If you really need screenshare there were some options with xwaylandvideobridge, a custom client, or just running it via the browser

on chromium screen sharing works flawlessly though.

Yes, but Discord is using a really old version afaik.

There's Armcord which does support screen sharing (and all sorts of neat features).

[–] pkill@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

why even install multiple copies of chromium in the first place if all this electron proprietary garbage comes with virtually no extra features compared to the web version, in the first place?

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Because Armcord inserts extra features into the app.

If you use scaling some apps can be blurry. Oh and screen sharing doesn't work on discord cause they refuse to update their app. Other than that it was smooth sailing for me

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Wow that's good news, I'll have to give it a shot

Both teamviewer and rustdesk are acting funny as hell since the upgrade. Seriously buggy for me. Screen locks up. Keyboard and mouse also act funny. tiger vnc is ok at the moment. That’s my biggest takeaway. It’s been hard to do stuff remotely with Wayland enabled.

Afaict wine uses XWayland. Sometimes with my games I'll have problems like the game running on one display and expecting input from the other, even when I've switched the second display off with wlr-randr. I also have occasional UI scaling problems. Most things works well most of the time though.

With a good compositor, Wayland itself is probably ready enough for most cases. A lot of applications need to be updated to better support it though., and that seems like a lot of work.

Am I going to have a bad time

yes, don't listen to the people with narrow use-cases that "work perfectly for them"

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

On Plasma 6.1/KWin on Wayland, with newest 555.52.04 drivers, it's literally been flawless for me

[–] refalo@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Except blind users cannot even install the distro at all now because all Wayland distros have broken screen readers.

So they gonna give me an NVIDIA card if I use Wayland? Nice!

[–] ColonelThirtyTwo@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago

Are they using the beta v555 Nvidia drivers? I, and a lot of other people, are having a lot of issues with the current stable ones not supporting implicit sync.

Why did you switch up the title?

[–] PenisWenisGenius@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I installed void linux which I guess defaults to wayland and everything ran like crap until I switched to x11. Have fun with that.
