The day is finally here. Xwayland now has the code for Explicit GPU Synchronization merged after waiting over a year for everything to be ready.
This merge resquest has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!
I don’t see any graphical glitches on my hardware.
Perhaps you’re still on the qt5 version?
Maybe a bug with your Nvidia driver?
Perhaps your WM doesn’t have explicit sync yet and your card & driver needs it in this particular case? Perhaps it’s running under XWayland?
Wayland#Qt : While it shouldn’t be necessary, to explicitly run a Qt application with the Wayland plugin, use -platform wayland or QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland environment variable.
As it says above, it should really be inferred by default. Something weird is going on here.
Exactly. When the variable is unset the UI shows massive artifacts and weird rendering glitches.
