LOL, same for me.
I don’t understand the idea that Wayland isn’t ready. It has worked for me without issue for several years now. It is less cpu intensive and does not have visual artifact-ing as an inherent trait.
I’m not against X, but I also think that Wayland is just better than X. Use whatever you want, but I am just glad that Wayland exists. It decluttered the graphics stack considerably.

True, but Nvidia

That is why my desktop is still running Windows, but all my laptops with intel gpus are running OM. Nvidia may come around at some point, but I do kind of understand their response these days. Linux development is about as welcoming as a den of badgers.

I don’t understand people who can’t live without Nvidia.

Thats easy to answer. Nvidia ruled the drivers department for windows for almost ever, and were cheaper to boot. I have to pay for 3 video cards for my family. Upgrading them to AMD would be insanely expensive. Even buying an upgrade to my 1080ti just doesnt seem worth it.
The GTX 2070 Super in this box used to run games in Windows. I paid hundreds of dollars for it and I am trying to get my money’s worth. I will grab an Arc B580 when they become available. They still have a scalper premium on them.
Well my laptop with GTX 1650 MaxQ is almost 6 years old and and stil in perfect condition, not likely to replace it now, but for sure the next one won’t be Nvidia equiped.
I nuked Windows 10 as soon as I got it, never felt the need to reinstall it, my last windows was windows vista back in the days.
Really !? maybe in the US then, because here in Europe, AMD equivalents are generally cheaper (significantly sometimes).
Upgrading any video cards is expensive right now. It doesnt matter whether it is upgrading Nvidia or AMD. I could sell my 1080ti for 90% of what I paid for it 3 years ago. Nvidia will sort out there disastrous 5000x series launch sooner or later and then I might upgrade.
But my card has worked just fine with my system, If anything the games I play have been more stable and easier to set up for me on OM than it was on win10.
True, GPU’s price are globally insane nowadays (thanks I am not a gamer), but for what I can see, AMD was cheaper at equals products, most of the time, it’s why I was surprised about your statement.
Nvidia seems to have skipped this generation, the process (TSMC 3nm) is allegedly not able to allow as much performance gain as they need, and for sure, the pricing won’t reflect this situation.
AMD will focus entry-middle range and will see the price they will propose for their rx8000.
