I switched to wayland since arch had manual intervention on the latest update for kwin-x11 I decided it was time to take the plunge.

So far it’s actually amazing. In two days of gaming I’ve had a great experience and OBS has been awesome. I particularly like the pipewire handling of OBS over the x11 window capture.

I also went through the wayland and nvidia arch wiki pages before I started up my game and it looks like everything is now implemented by the nvidia drivers. I’m happy nvidia might finally be catching up, though, I won’t hold my breath as it still looks a little like the absolute bare minimum.

It was mainly on Nobara but I guess my negative experience also followed me from troubles in debian early 2024.

Could you please guide me to relevant documentation for this?

For now I’ll just start at the Arch wiki for wayland.

This was my experience. I could barely even get my machine to run.

How is wayland nvidia gaming at the moment?

Several months ago I tried gaming on wayland with nvidia and it was completely broken for me.

EDIT: Two days on wayland nvidia now, both gaming and using NVENC in OBS. It’s been amazing.

You can set up dual boot with your boot manager. This gives you all your installed OSs in the boot menu to select from.

EDIT: BTW arch isn’t hard to install anymore, just use the “archinstall” command at the prompt when it’s finished loading.
