Hi, I’m trying use KDE Plasma + KWin + Wayland for it’s eGPU support as I saw here that there is hotplugging enabled and my current Xorg solution feels janky at best.
I believe the issue I’m having is very similar to:
Where eGPU is detected, and external monitor hooked up to eGPU is detected no problem, but it’s super choppy/laggy/stuttery.
Running glxgears on the external monitor results in around 16 fps while on the internal monitor results in around 58 fps.
According to the previously mentioned Github issue, it seems Gnome has it figured out? Anyone have any solution to this problem asides from just switching to Gnome?
