Jumping before distros because you have a rush of blood to the head isn't particularly helpful. My hardware has no Nvidia, but getting screen recording on Wayland was a royal pain in the backside.

When they iron this stuff out and make it effortless, great, but until then, the software still needs maturing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] umbrella@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) They don't need to think about display servers.
