Nvidia on modern Linux (Wayland) is garbage and I'm buying AMD next time.
Like seriously, people will try and tell you "oh you can install the proprietary driver easily now and they've come a long way"
Sure, but it's still garbage. I can't even full screen a video in Firefox without a it crashing and a bunch of apps simply refuse to work without shitty environment variable hacks to drop back to software rendering
I'm not a noob either, I've been using Linux as my primary OS since 2008
I just tried fullscreen youtube and it worked flawlessly, and i had a lot more luck than you with different apps. we can at least agree that it isn't consistently stable depending on configuration, and i feel pretty lucky that my nobara installation is one of the happy ones.
