Hello,
OpenMandriva Lx version: 25.04 ROME
Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): Plasma6 Wayland
Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
Do you have a success with running Plasma6 Wayland version with nvidia hardware?
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but in my case it is working horrible (many stuttering within even mouse cursor moving, like it was be rendering with 2fps) I can also observe very high cpu usage reported by monitoring (see below screenshot) without running anything but plasma itself.
Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
Desktop PC, AMD AM5 Motherboard ASUS X670E-plus, Ryzen 7 7700X, 32 GB RAM DDR5, nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, nvidia proprietary driver from ROME repo, Kernel 6.13.9 - the latest stable in ROME.
Edit: I should also mention that I have OMLx X11 version installed, then I have added a package called task-plasma6-wayland with dependencies to check how it will be working on my machine
Can you check if the nvidia driver is actually used or if there is a software fallback to llvmpipe?
Run “inxi -G”
Also you can check in kde system setting what is used.

That’s weird to me that Display says wayland but server says X.org .
I have also been trying to search through system information and I have found this:
Compositing
===========
Compositing is active
Compositing Type: OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.7, 256 bits)
OpenGL version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 25.0.2
OpenGL platform interface: EGL
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.50
Driver: LLVMpipe
GPU class: Unknown
OpenGL version: 4.5
GLSL version: 4.50
Mesa version: 25.0.2
Linux kernel version: 6.13.9
Direct rendering: Requires strict binding: no
Virtual Machine: no
OpenGL 2 Shaders are used
So you are probably right about software accelleration used by default on my system, how can I change that?
I had the same problem. Had to switch over to X11 and got back to smooth sailing.

I have moved couple steps further, Now I have proper Compositing driver in use (nvidia).
What I did to fix this:
Install missing nvidia egl package lib64nvidia-egl-wayland1.x86_64
Set global env variables in /etc/environment:
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json
Then reboot and login to plasma wayland session.
Most of stuttering has been fixed, but still I have some glitches (very slow scrolling) in Brave, and Kitty terminal is not starting.
Edit: Ok for a brave a quick solution was to disable in Settings/System Use graphics acceleration when available.
Edit2: For a kitty It seems that something is not compatible with EGL:
[engine@engine-om ~]$ kitty
[0,069] [glfw error 65542]: EGL: Failed to get EGL display: EGL failed to allocate resources for the requested operation
[0,074] Traceback (most recent call last):

window_id = create_os_window(
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: Failed to create GLFWwindow
Edit 3: It was too fast, something is still wrong, plasma is telling in systray that Software Renderer in Use, Rendering may be degraded. So one step further but still glitche.

Wow, what a discovery I did when trying to fix that issue.
It seems that my motherboard (Asus X670E-Plus) or even AM5 platform itself can passthrough display from additional graphics card (GeForce RTX 4080) to Integrated AMD GPU. I have just connected display port cable directly to motherboard port, none display adapters are connected to GeForce itself. Now I can run OpenMandriva desktop using AMD iGPU - so Plasma6 is working without an issue on wayland, and when I run a game with steam or lutris, GeForce gpu is used for rendering, game works great but screen is still connected to Motherboard DisplayPort.
Amazing!
I wasn’t aware that something like that is possible. Now I need to check if it will work the other way - so monitor connected to GeForce, but rendering done by integrated GPU.
So it is a workaround for this issue in this topic, but I still want to find out how to fix that nvidia+wayland cooperation, so not closing it.

have you something like mangohud to confirm that point ?
you will see then memoty GPU in this case

I have nvtop running in a terminal and can monitor which gpu is occupied - and it confirms that!
It even works in window display
