Let’s talk about #Linux on the desktop, #Gnome and the state of #Wayland in 2024.

    I’ve just had to switch back to X11 from Wayland on Nobara, because I couldn’t get Sunshine to work no matter what I tried, my windows were occasionally flickering black, and my taskbar kept freezing. So I guess I’ll wait a little bit more.

      What hardware do you have? I have all AMD, and it works just fine on Nobara on Wayland.

        Unfortunately, NVIDIA. I was buying a new PC half a year ago, and only started even considering to make the switch to Linux few months after that, so I am at a pretty unlucky point where I just had recently spent a lot of money for new-gen PC, but without knowing that I should really go for AMD.

        I will make the switch to AMD as soon as it’s justifiable, but I’m too lazy to deal with second-hand resale and it’s hard to justify a new GPU when I still have the current gen, but from wrong manufacturer.

          I totally empathize. I did the same thing at the end of 2020 and just switched to an AMD GPU last month.

          I had numerous problems with Wayland when I had an NVIDIA video card. Since I switched to an AMD video card, it has been a blissful experience. Wayland now works perfectly.

          You could sell your old one and buy a new one. I think people are still buying up Nvidia GPUs like crazy.
