I have to say, there's one thing that Wayland has fixed for me. Like the individual monitor refresh rate problem I am having with Xorg where I can't get my main monitor that supports 120hz to work in 120hz even though it is set in the settings, this is due to my second monitor being at 60hz and it seems to cap at that refresh rate. I might have to tinker around with NVIDIA settings to get this to work. In Wayland, this was working out of the box.
Couple of issues with Wayland which is preventing me from switching over:
1. Gnome extensions app, which does not properly display, just displays an invisible box. This is also effecting some extensions like the ArcMenu or Dash to Panel. This seems to have been reported already.
2. I've also noticed that in firefox, you cant seem to grab a tab and make it into its own window, this has also been reported from my searching
3. Random app crashes here and there. The app would just close on its own and you'd need to restart it. So far happened in Firefox and Slack.
I've tested using the latest NVIDIA drivers (470.57.02) on Fedora 34 on the latest kernel and an NVIDIA RTX2080 Ti.
I heard some folks dont have that many issues, but curious your experience so far.
EDIT: I think I fixed the refresh rate issue. For those having the same issue in X11, I was able to get better results by disabling "Allow Flipping" in the NVIDIA settings app under OpenGL Settings.
