I run proprietary Nvidia drivers as well and Wayland runs so much better than Xorg now that I’m permanently coming over to Wayland. I’m extremely happy rn with Wayland

    I use i3 and kde on void with an amd gpu, i tried kde wayland and sway (and i check on them every few weeks), but I’ve found them to be buggy and sway in particular to be very difficult. I honestly have no idea why it’s been like this for me, i look forward to the day wayland is truly as good as x11

      KDE/Wayland has become stable for me with AMDGPU only in the last 6 months or so. They seemed to have had a lot of trouble on that.

      Sway always worked for me, though.

      For me the switch was simple the only issue I do encounter from time to time is lockscreen related. What’s not working for you?

        Prolly the biggest thing is sometimes when i launch sway dmenu completely fails to work, and then on kde there’s little bugs that show up, one that comes to mind is the bar at the top of windows that has the max min and close buttons rendered completely transparent

          Maybe you’d have better luck with rofi… There’s also wofi. can’t say much about the kde issues though.
