I’ve tried out Wayland for a few days with KDE, I loved how smooth it is and lots of little X11 gfx nuisances are just gone. I really enjoy it, however Firefox often starts spontaneously blinking/flickering the entire browser window on/off every few seconds, is that something you have seen or found a solution for? Both in Wayland and XWayland for me :(

Not something I have experienced yet, mercifully. The only bug I have encountered frequently is that the KDE panel sometimes crashes under Wayland and instantly restarts itself, usually when I am hovering over a panel icon. I think it’s a known issue and at least at some point was in the KDE-Wayland open issues, so perhaps it’s not Nvidia-specific.
That being said, on my main machine I have migrated recently to a Debian Stable base and am using Cinnamon + X11, with Flatpak for newer applications, and Distrobox / Podman container for all development stuff. Everything works like a charm, and am not missing Wayland at all at the moment.

NB: Haven’t tried the new driver yet.
