I’m planning to switch to wayland. How’s WINE, and gaming in general, in wayland? Is it as smooth as in X11?

Asking here because most results in google search are a few months old

    I’ve played star citizen under wayland and if you know star citizen you know it’s a special and unique snowflake. Also Satisfactory, Cyberpunk 2077, Days Gone… works great for me.

    YMMV

    It works fine (use KDE).

    Wine still goes through XWayland but it’s approaching getting full Wayland support.

    Gaming on Wayland is perfect on AMD, but if you have Nvidia you might face some issues, especially with the latest 545 driver

    There doesn’t seem to be a noticeable difference in performance between Xorg and Wayland

    So far the only issue I’ve had is running Rivals of Aether. But idk if that’s even a Wayland issue or not.

    i haven’t any differences between Wayland and x11. Now I only use Wayland.

    I have an AMD Ryzen 7 + AMD rx7600, with Fedora 38 and Gnome

    Those questions really puzzle me. Why don’t you simply try a wayland session per Login-Manager?
