yes. I've considered getting an rx-6400 to switch.

For what it's worth, Wayland seems to work fine with the more recent proprietary Nvidia drivers released earlier this year.

Mutter is still buggy on Nvidia but I believe KDE should work fine these days unless you're on a distro that doesn't have recent drivers.

With nvidia-binary version 515.48.07 on linux 5.15.50 it immediately crashes and restarts sddm

With nouveau, it works for up to a minute before freezing and locking the GPU.

If the notes on the Arch wiki are anything to go by, SDDM doesn't support Wayland quite well. The issue tracker seems to agree: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+w...

I'm not so sure whether this is an nvidia issue or an SDDM issue.

Tried it with lightdm (and just launching kde-plasma from a TTY) same result.

Strange, that sucks. I guess either you're unlucky with your hardware compatibility or I'm lucky with mine. Hopefully the open nvidia driver programme will bring better compatibility to both our systems!
