From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In my experience, any HDMI's or Display Ports plugged into my GPU have terrible performance on Wayland while working perfectly on X11, so it seems there are still problems. Though tbf X11 doesn't work at all with HDMI's plugged into my motherboard so it could be a hardware issue? I have a 11 year old motherboard so idk.

If you're mixing a dedicated GPU and onboard graphics you need to set the dedicated GPU as primary somewhere, otherwise all screens get rendered on the onboard and "reverse PRIME'd" to the dedi GPU outputs.

I'll see if I can find the snippet that fixed this for me.
