Hey everyone how are you doing? :)
Recently I've read that Fedora will (once again?) try to make Wayland their default display server.
I was wondering if something similar is planed for openSUSE as well? Maybe for the Gnome and KDE system role options?
Since nvidia finally gave in and added GBM support to their proprietary driver, Gnome to support it with version 41.2 and KDE probably will do so as well if they not already doing so?
I thought it might be finally the case that Wayland can be used as a default as the last showstopper, nvidia, finally got their stuff sorted, it seems.
Would like to hear what going on behind the scenes or if there are any reasons I did not though of to not make Wayland the default?
Kind regards, V.
I'd say,it depends on the hardware and/or drivers. I'm using Tumbleweed with the KDE Plasma desktop on a laptop with an Intel processor with IGP and on a desktop PC with an AMD APU (Ryzen 5600G). On Intel Wayland works well lately, but on AMD (driver amdgpu) it works during the session, but on shutdown it brings the whole system to a hang and I have to switch the machine off the hard(ware) way. Not what I want to do every day...
regards Hendrik openSUSE already uses wayland by default, in the limit you have to understand if KDE is ready to switch to wayland by default. Personally I am using it without problems, but this is just my experience of use. A greeting.
