I tried out the beta version of 545 last week, I swear it made the render issue with XWayland apps worse. Even if it’s back to the 535 state, it still makes using Wayland on Nvidia very difficult unless every application you plan to use is Wayland native. It’ll be a while before that’s the case for me.
I plan to just pick up a 6700 XT next week. I’m tired of being a second class citizen in Nvidia’s eyes.
That being said, I appreciate the devs themselves who’ve been working on improving what they can (there’s a couple that I’ve even seen participating in the Freedesktop GitLab). I assume the lackluster Linux support comes from the management side of things. I may not like the company, but I obviously don’t have disdain for every single person there.
I replaced my 3080 Ti with a 7900 XTX, reinstalled Tumbleweed to start fresh, and KDE on Wayland has been running great so far. Before, visual glitches galore, GPU refusing to output a signal if iGPU is not blacklisted, hardware video decoding outright does not work, etc.
Now, with AMD, I have not yet experienced graphics-related issues in weeks, fingers crossed.

Same. A 7800 XT is on its way as we speak replacing my 2080 Super. I am just sick of Nvidia even though performance wise it wouldn’t be necessary.
Same feelings. I will even downgrade from a RTX 3070ti to a 6700xt because I am tired of Nvidia.
