Good to see I’m not alone with this. I have multiple monitors with various resolutions (4K, 2K and an old 1600x1200 VGA screen) and I like the fractional scaling methods Wayland has. It makes it really easy to combine all of these screens into one useable area.
Fractional scaling on X11 can be enabled but it’s such a massive performance hit, that it doesn’t make any fun or sense to use it.
On my UHD 620, Wayland is rock-solid. Everything just works, it never crashes, I don’t have any glitches and the performance is great. On Nvidia, when it’s not just crashing it still feels laggy. Even moving around windows seem to be a struggle for the system and it’s so sad to see that.
I tried upgrading to the 550 beta driver now and it just segfaults in libnvidia-glcore.so when I try to run anything Wayland-related. Can’t even get to sddm with it anymore and have to start KDE from a TTY. Of course, xorg still works fine.

Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.
Yeah unfortunately that Custom ROM scene is dying out
I feel like recent Android has gotten good enough for me that I don’t really need custom ROMs anymore. As long as I can still root the stock ROM and install AdAway, I’m fine.
The S8 is pretty nice, but only the Exynos variant. I hated the glass back, though. Shattered mine two times, one time the phone just fell 30 centimeters out of bed. Gorilla Glass only in the front was a deliberate decision by these bastards.
It’s the good one. As far as I know, Exynos phones are much faster than the Snapdragon variants. Custom ROMs like LineageOS are only available for Exynos phones, so those are the only ones still getting updates.
I used an Exynos S8 up to December of last year and it’s still blazingly fast. And the consensus on xdaforums seems to be that the Qualcomm variant from the US is terrible. :) Weird, but maybe I’m wrong and I just got used to a slow device. I mean, I had a Sony Xperia XA2 before and that thing was so slow, everything else felt like The Flash. :D
Is it me or is Nvidia on Wayland still a hot mess?
