Would be nice to see a Debian or Fedora Silverblue equivalent of this kind of opinionated Sway base.
Never noticed a difference in terms of snappiness or tearing.
Nowadays I have a nvidia gpu and wayland + proprietary drivers has tons of issues, so I switched to x11.
I could probably use the integrated gpu (amd) to drive the desktop and use nvidia purely for ai/ml (which would free up some extra vram) but then I can't play videogames on the nvidia card.
I get all sorts of weird artifacts on the screen, sometimes I keep seeing a still image of a previous window.
I didn't use sway though, I accidentally logged in into plasma wayland and noted the issues. I doubt it's caused by Kwin though, it would likely show up on their bugtracker.
Fedora has a sway spin. I wonder whether that "just works" (TM).
I hope Wayland doesn't stick around and it's successor is actually thought out and reasoned about real world use cases and cooperation.
It just works, with extra config optional.
I don't want to learn Wayland or any of its quirks until I have to.
I've already seen how lacking it is in terms of input control. I'm sure it's better since I looked a few years ago, but really who cares. Until I have to switch, why would I?
