that said, I can't stand having someone stalk and monetize your every move

Well, they can't. I have an anonymus account only for youtube that I access only over the VPN with adblockers.

I don't want to do all that just to watch a few videos a day.

I bursted into laugjter when he started pulling out an actual arsenal of weapons. It was very unexpected.

Meh, when you have a chip that powerful and that energy efficient, trying something in wearable computing is a no brainer imo.

I don't think you will ever be able to use Wayland on Nvidia without enabling modesetting which sounds like you haven't.

I should check that out. Can you just stream any application to your phone?

Can you go and buy an ARM CPU and build a desktop system with it?

I though wine merged their wayland drivers?

I can only speak for the desktop, not laptops, when I say it works perfectly on Gnome and KDE and even Hyprland which doesn't even officially support Nvidia hardware. That said, for the first time in two years I started having big issues with a few games (though, I don't play a large number of games so take this with a grain of salt). Right now, I have an xorg session on the side to play those games. Although, I'm starting to notice it's missing some things from Wayland that I've gotten accustomed to.

Wayland is expected to get much, much better when the 555 drivers drop explicit support in May and when proton enables the wine wayland drivers.

My experience with Nvidia had been mostly seamless (although, laptops could be performing worse) up until recently when everything started bursting into flames. Electron applications are nuts, steam store doesn't even render, multiple game broke down fully. I can't even find any other use reports.

 

I've been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn't go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren't actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.
