Wayland: what's blocking you from using it?

I’m a Nvidia user. While things have improved a lot, I’m still experiencing flickering issues when typing. I believe it was said to be a nvidia driver issue not supporting explicit sync, which is on its way last time I heard.

My biggest problem is fractional scaling not being supported fully. Many programs I use for work do not support wayland, which results to blurry rendering all over the place:

  • Jetbrains IDEs
  • Any Electron based apps really (Slack, Discord, Zoom, VSCode …)
  • My web browser of choice, Brave, doesn’t even start on Wayland but it could be a regression, who knows.

I’m running Fedora 40 by the way.
