From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[kind of solved] Nvidia Wayland Issues (feddit.de)

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

Have you tried temporarily disabling the Compositor with Shift+Alt+F12? This fixed a lot of my graphical issues in games under Wayland with an Nvidia card.

That shortcut does nothing on Wayland. What you're experiencing is either placebo, or you're not using Wayland

[–] Errorgance 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're correct, it's actually a KDE shortcut. My misunderstanding.

In my case it did help, so not a placebo. Given that OP is also using KDE, it may still help.

Yes, it is a KDE shortcut, a kwin_x11 shortcut to be more specific. It's not a thing with kwin_wayland, and so it most certainly did not help or do anything for you - unless you're not actually using the Wayland session of course.

Ah, gotcha. I'm not new to Linux in general, but I'm very new to running it as a desktop (as in, the last few weeks). The last time I really tried was well before Wayland was even a thing. I've been distro hopping a lot to find what I like, and didn't even realize I wasn't using Wayland this time, oops. That certainly explains why it worked for me.

Learn something new every day. Thanks!
