The smaller the interval of each switch between the two, our timeline folds onto itself at a faster rate. If you like this dimension, please just adapt and use Wayland. Or you'll be the harbinger of doom for us all.

Only thing stopping a permanent switch for me is that counterstrike2 is a strobe light on Wayland nvidia for me. As soon as that's all good, I'll be yeeting x11
I have a friend running Nobara, playing on Nvidia + Wayland exclusively.
on nobara wayland nvidia performance difference is neglible
@Owljfien @warmaster do you get random black screen too?
On cs2? Yeah, it strobes a bunch then goes black, occasionally flickers back in, then I give up and go back to x11
@Owljfien can you try this and see if it fixes the problem? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorg-xwayland-explicit-sync-git
This fixed cs2 for me (mostly)
Ill give it a look in 2 hours when I finish work, what adaptive sync setting should I have for this? I use KDE so the options are auto, always and never. I've experimented with these settings before trying that patch
Just tried it but I think the upstream has been patched recently so this package isn't working currently
I had issues with Freesync, if I opened an X11 session at launch then it worked with only one screen connected, but it was reliable and didn't need any further tinkering.
If I launched Wayland first and then switched to X11, my screen's refresh rate would get locked on a random value. I'd have to either cycle compositing on/off, or enable the TearFree flag in xrandr.
In the end Wayland gaming got improved on Plasma 6 so I no longer use X11
Depends on your DE and DM more than anything. Personally I've found that KDE/SDDM was a bit janky when logging out and back in without rebooting, even if it was just on x11 od wayland.
YMMV, but nothing fundamentally destructive can come from doing this, you're doing something no different to logging out and back in as a different user
I haven't run into any issues doing so.
Great Information sharing .. I am very happy to read this article .. thanks for giving us go through info.Fantastic nice. I appreciate this post. buy gta 5 modded accounts
I use gnome but I haven't had any issues switching between the two.
I doubt it'll do anything, or at worse something that can be easily fixed by resetting a config file somewhere. It's much less weird than even switching between Gnome and KDE.
For the most part, only KWin and KScreen and maybe Plasma Shell might care but I'd expect nothing worse than a panel going to the wrong monitor.
For your input redirection, have you tried running it in gamescope or a rootful xwayland? Not sure gamescope has much special sauce since it's based on wlroots and also runs xwayland, but they may have extra hacks for input grabbing.
There shouldn't be, although I've found that Firefox doesn't to automatic Wayland detection well (I need MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND and such, but only on Wayland, to get touch pad gestures working) so that's more of a pain than I'd like. If everything works for you, you shouldn't run into any trouble switching back and forth.
