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 have been switching occasionally to Plasma Wayland every few months and this past month may be the month I finally stop switching back to X. In terms of breakage for me that got fixed that were showstoppers was Activities, the various VOIP apps that are the norm for work these days, and figuring out I had to add config parameters to get fcitx working in Wayland. I think the only thing left is the screen becoming a mess when I physically turn off the desktop's monitor, but no such issue with crashing the DE has occurred in a long time for my laptop. I use an RX580 so maybe I have been more fortunate. I am gathering from your message most of your woes is from nvidia GPUs?
