Hey everyone,

I’m currently rocking a 3080 I bought second hand in my Arch Linux rig. It works great under xorg but not so much wayland. There are a number of bugs and gaming performance is worse. I would like to use wayland in general for the mixed refresh rates with dual monitors. My question is: Is AMD really that much better than Nvidia? Is the AMD experience issue free with wayland? Also, how is hardware encoding with AMD? I’m particularly curious how performance is for game streaming with sunshine. I currently use nvenc hardware encoding which is amazing and feels like there is no latency. Does AMD have a similar experience?

Thanks!

    After using arch with my 1070 Ti for 3 weeks, Nvidia driver updates have caused major issues twice already and from what I read around the Internet, I think it’s pretty safe to say that all nvidia cards become progressively worse experiences over time. Haven’t tried arch on AMD yet, but I will soon. Nvidia and especially their driver devs can suck a dick.
