As a user of stripped-down XFCE and being a Wayland virgin, interested to know what problems there are with 'no-bloat' WMs on Wayland?
Apparently, Nvidia drivers? The page says the proprietary driver (which I need for reasonable performance and battery life) only works "with limitations" in Gnome and KDE, which are both too terrible to even consider using.
that look like proprietary nvidia problem
There’s not really any viable options other than Nvidia for GPU compute, despite AMD’s efforts on ROCm. If you want to do compute tasks, you need an Nvidia card with Nvidia drivers, and Wayland won’t support your usage.
I don't care who caused it, I can't use wayland until it gets fixed.
That sounds pretty uncommon.
If I wanted to win popularity contests I'd be using Windows.
Sure, but open source is made of people solving their problems and then sharing… it might be the case that yours is too unique.
