@leopold That's the thing though, I built the current PC during the pandemic and crypto craze. Everything is relatively new, except the GPU, because I couldn't afford one, but I needed a better CPU for audio recording and editing.

@shanesemler @leopold IIRC the proprietary nVidia drivers only work at 30 fps with KDE Wayland.

You don't need a super duper GPU to run Plasma at a smooth framerate. My 8th gen integrated Intel GPU works fine.

that is definitely not the case. that would make the plasma wayland session essentially unusable on nvidia, even though many users have reported it working fine.

@leopold I no longer have a machine with an nVidia GPU, but when I did a year ago, Wayland was limited to low framerates where every animation was choppy.

@be @leopold That might be it as I use the proprietary drivers. I’ll just stick to XFCE.

@shanesemler @leopold You could also try a KDE X11 session.

[–] shanesemler@metalhead.club 1 points 4 months ago

@be @leopold I'll probably just stick with XFCE for now.

do you use an SSD? from my experience, that can make a really big difference with Plasma
