Hi, I remember that two years ago there weren't any plans for supporting Wayland as it wasn't polished enough. Recently I was testing Fedora and I must say Wayland today is really stable. More and more issues are fixed. Was testing it and I seen that I was getting 2-3 more fps in some games.

are there any plans to start supporting it? Wayland is getting a lot of love recently even Nvidia wanna do it.

I personally tested Wayland in Solus Plasma and so far it's not optimal for my use case as I have a HiDPI screen with scaling enabled and xWayland is far from perfect. For example, while Firefox displays fine (with some twists), Chrome is blurry (I haven't been able to force it to use Wayland).

@WhiteWolf There has been no change regarding future plans for Wayland on Solus. We do have some wayland stuff packaged, but it should be considered experimental.

I run Sway (also considered experimental) on my laptop beside Budgie. Fractional scaling works.

Numerous devs have experimented with Wayland recently and the consensus is that it's largely usable (if still a bit buggy) for Intel/AMD GPU users however Nvidia still needs a few more driver updates before it's comparable (though the situation has improved substantially already recently).

GNOME Wayland is pretty much at feature parity with X11 right now, Plasma still needs a couple of major releases IMO, can't comment on Sway or MATE. There are still some major feature limitations right now, but they're mainly app-related. Such as certain apps not supporting Pipewire screensharing and so having an inferior experience on that front (looking at you Discord and OBS).

My guess is that around the middle of the year things will have improved enough that discussions on whether to support it or not are likely to be had. Ecosystem-wise I think the release of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will put a lot of pressure on the apps that don't support Wayland yet to fix their issues with it.

    ReillyBrogan Nvidia still needs a few more driver updates before it's comparable (though the situation has improved substantially already recently).

    The only downside to this is that the GeForce 600 series (except for some weird mobile chips) and most of the Geforce 700 series of GPUs won't be supported by the new driver that has those improvements. (plus some Quadro cards and other specialized GPUs)

      I'm currently using Wayfire on Solus, which for the most part works ok, but menu bar fonts are still too small as is the cursor on a HiDPI screen. I have a dual monitor setup which also works fine.

      I'm also still working on which icon theme to use since some icons don't seem to be supported.

      I am really disappointed that KDE doesn't work well on Wayland for me. I use all things AMD and I'm happy with my setup so far.

      I hope Wayfire will implement different background images for each workspace, but that is for another forum.
