with the latest update possibly providing better support for Wayland with Nvidia;what are the right steps to enable it in order to see if it works for me?
is it just a matter of installing ‘plasma-wayland-session’ ?
do i also need ‘egl-wayland’ or ‘xorg-wayland’?
looking around,i found a YouTube video(from 2019)in which he installs both “plasma-wayland-session” “egl-wayland”,edit the MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf,edit grub,then echo "kwin_DRM_USE_EGL_STREAMS=1 >> .profile
any idea what ‘xorg-xwayland’ is?
i see it mentioned a lot,
arch wiki says “run X clients under wayland”.
is it meant to be used instead of full Wayland for people having trouble running Wayland?
or in addition to it to avoid issues in some apps?
As for worth it maybe in the next plasma version with a more polished NVIDIA driver,right now is not very stable,nor saw an better performance in games.
i tried Wayland with only installing the 3 aforementioned packages;
i forgot that optimus manager doesn’t currently support Wayland,so i was put on the Intel GPU.
i don’t feel like messing with the settings Yochanan mentioned since even on Intel the performance was subpar;many glitches,slow loading pages on FF and so on.
so i have seen enough for the time being
Will it be possible to use Wayland on Kde with Nvidia drivers without having to change kernel configurations and such in the future?, like installing the packages and you are ready to go, will this be possible when Wayland support from Nvidia evolves, or the modeset thing will be a must always?. I’m thinking about waiting for an out of the box support to be sure that I don´t break anything in my system.
Do I only need to install the packages mentioned here and trying to log in with Wayland? or do I need to do any extra step to use Wayland?.
Do I have to set nvidia-drm.modeset=1? Or it should run with no more configurations?.
Any specific kernel is needed?.
I have nvidia-prime 470 drivers and everything updated.
KDE is on Wayland. Instead of opening a new thread you should have probably replied to the thread you mentioned asking exactly the same thing, I guess.
I tried it and I get a black screen and a freeze, this is the log from wayland-session.log:

yep. bug, glitches. I don’t see the benefit to go from Xorg fully working with no glitches and weird bug when you click here and there, to wayland, with weirdness to discover here and there.
