KDE - Wayland - NVidia -> load
Just a heads up. After updating my Tumbleweed to day, KDE on Wayland is not longer possible. CPU load goes max and everything slows to crawl. Luckily I still had X-org installed so I was able to switch back. I have not had the time to investigate further, but in case anyone has the same problem they should feel alone :-/ klaus@msien:~> lspci | grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1) -- Klaus
In my experience Wayland is a l-o-n-g way from ready for prime time. KDE doesn't work. LibreOffice is severely crippled; can't be used in a business environment where multiple sheets have to be open at the same time, Miscellaneous other small things. At least now, when the flash screen happens to work, it comes up in the middle of the sceen -- huge step forward.... My experience is with nVidia and I'm thinking of switching to AMD to see if that is any better. Just my $.02.

I might just gave been lucky, but before now, I have had no issues with Wayland on this machine. It seemed to be default when I installed Tumbleweed about half a year ago, and I just used it until yesterday. Btw: Pipewire also lost connection with my bluetooth headphones after this update, but that was solved by a delete/new pairing. -- Klaus Den 30.01.2024 kl. 02.15 skrev Chuck Davis:
