[kind of solved] Nvidia Wayland Issues

First of all: I don't have anything against Wayland. I just wanna play Minecraft occasionally.

I am running Fedora with KDE on some HP workstation with an Nvidia 2060 FE. I am using the proprietary drivers. With the next release of Fedora (and KDE), Wayland will be the only supported Display Manager (as of my understanding). I tried switching to Wayland, but I get some weird black stuttering in Minecraft making it completely unplayable. The bad thing is that with my friends GPU, a GTX 1050, it worked just fine. On my Laptop with just the integrated Graphics too.

Have you got any tips for me? I neither want to switch the distro nor the desktop enviroment, as I'm happy with how it is. I could imagine buying a used amd gpu, but I dont really want to spend a lot of money.

For now, I am just waiting and hoping they're having it fixed in the release. ** Edit:** thanks for all the help. @[email protected]s solution, forcing it to use xwayland made it better, but then i discovered that if I'm in fullscreen, it works perfectly fine, also without xwayland. It seems like a really dumb solution, and i'm not quite happy with it, but hey, if it works, don't touch it.

tl;dr: In fullscreen it works just fine

A post criticising wayland? Blasphemy!
- They aren't criticising Wayland, they're criticising how the Nvidia drivers handle Wayland.
  
  Criticising Wayland is fine. It's the blind hatred and misinformation that people generally frown upon.
  
  E: oh, your post history shows a very unhealthy obsession with Wayland. Like, it's the only thing this account has spoken about.
  
  I don't think I'm going to comment any further than this, it'll only waste both our time.
  
  We should realy get a "Report for spam" thing on lemmy to deal with this
  
  Good
- Yeah, notice how it's still up, people are having a rational discussion, and nobody is getting annoyed with anybody. Unlike whatever it is you're doing.
