In the end the new GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card ended out just slightly above the Radeon RX 7600 in terms of overall performance. The Radeon RX 6000/7000 series on their open-source Linux GPU driver stack continue to perform very competitively with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30/40 series and their respective proprietary driver stack. Thanks to the work by AMD, Valve, Red Hat, and other parties on the open-source Radeon Linux driver stack the Linux gaming scene continues to become quite vibrant while NVIDIA also continues providing their first-rate binary Linux driver support on Linux that remains in excellent shape largely due to the shared driver code-base with Windows.
Wdym, I run plasma-wayland on 1660 without issue.
Open source drivers or proprietary ones?
Prop of course. As per google nvidia has official wayland support since 2021
I know what Google says, but I tried it a few months ago and nothing worked properly, I just assumed the version was still beta. But it could be because I’m using a laptop and Optimus cards have always been sort of a hit or miss with features on NVIDIA.
I had no problems on Nobara, also running wayland and have no problems on arch.
For nvidia i have nvidia, nvidia-utils and nvidia-settings packages, DRM KMS and nvidia “experimental” settings for suspend, hibernate and preserve memory enabled.
For KDE i have plasma-meta and plasma-wayland-session.
HW is Two mixed refreshrate monitors (144 and 60Hz) on 1080p, GTX1660 and ryzen 5 3600.
