Tried using Wayland recently, but alas, my Nvidia GPU holds me back once again.
I've been on bazzite for awhile with a 3090 and it runs pretty great.
Maybe give that a shot if possible
Problems arise with old NVIDIA cards (up to Kepler)
For those, only nouveau is feasible, since nvidia isn’t updating their drivers for newer kernels anymore.
Nouveau did much progress on those cards in the last years
Yeah, definitely not perfect... I hope nvk fixes some of this eventually
Nvk will work on the older cards right?
On which kernel version and which driver and which vulkan package?
Kernel: 5.15.0-130-generic Nvidia driver: 550.142 Idk how to check for vulkan package
Also I have a 2080 super
I see, you need to update those, at least kernel 6.1 and I think nvidia is 570 by now
Seeing your kernel, I guess you are in a debian based (apt is used) system, I am not familiar with this package manager, but google how to find installed packages using apt, there you should find it.
2080 works pretty good on wayland on an up to date Linux machine
I'll consider upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 then. I'm on 22.04 now
That is a great idea 😄
My laptop has a 3050 in it running Garuda Linux under Wayland and its been working well without any fuss. I tried bazzite but the drivers put me on the struggle bus... It never would leave "hybrid mode" and trying to play a game just wouldn't touch the dgpu so performance would be igpu trash mode.
I'd love to know what is different between garuda and bazzite to try to get bazzite to work as I did really like it, but it eluded me. I guess my point is that you might have better luck trying a different distro unfortunately. It feels like there are enough variables that what works for me may not for you and vice versa.
