2 years agoHaving swapped to Linux on Pop OS and later onto Nobara recently, I strongly disagree.
As my personal experience on 525, 535 and even beta 545 with a 3080, so much as swapping onto a Wayland session implied lag, screen tearing issues, and stability issues / crashes on KDE and GNOME, to the point that I ended up selling the 3080 for a 7900 XTX because of how everyone said the AMD experience is so much better and it is.
True that I havent tested it on a laptop so maybe Optimus support from Nvidia or the latest drivers have added stability overall, but this was definitely a problem in desktop for the last months to me.
This, relying on third party developers just to have basic UX options like Dash to Panel, only to be broken by GNOME updates is insane. The fact that they allow extensions in the first place is great but they really dont care about user experience in the modded realm when they push huge breaking changes from version to version.
