Today, because X was giving me a hassle with the latest KDE/Plasma (everytime I disconnect my power supply from my laptop, the screen configuration would become wrong and difficult to fix), I decided to try Wayland. It is running now.

Daytime color adjustment doesn't work, but that's not that big of a deal.

I noticed I can't turn off the compositor which I think is ignorant.

But those are minor complaints because the performance seems to be pretty good. I'll let you know when I fire up my windows VM which was really clunky under X.

There is one problem: the cursor flickers badly when I move it. It works just fine, it's just that a ghost of it appears often to the left of where the actual cursor is and sometimes hangs around a few milliseconds.

Is there a guide or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get Wayland to be as stable as possible?

I'm using the NVidia Blob, is that okay? (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-510.68.02)

Should I use the unstable 515 driver?

Thanks much.

Nevermind. x2goclient doesn't work so wayland is a no go for me.

It is looking better though. It gives me hope for the future.

For daytime color adjustment you can use wlsunset, it's not in the official repos btw but you can find it in overlays.
