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!

    First time I installed CUDA, it worked for a bit and then I rebooted and got stuck on “loading initial ramdisk”. I had to chroot in from the installer and remove both cuda and the nvidia driver.

    The next time I ran a normal system upgrade and steam didn’t launch anymore, so I had to manually downgrade the nvidia packages.
