What DE did you use? I have been using KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland) on arch, with proprietary Nvidia drivers, and, I'm seeing no issues, even games run good.

I also run KDE plasma 6 and when I try to play Stardew Valley in particular on Wayland I get horrific flickering at ~15hz that I'm certain would trigger someone's photosensitive epilepsy... It's really bad. On X server it works as expected.

Not the OP, but Wayland experience was horrible for me too when I moved to KF6/Plasma last week on my manjaro

Zoom in Chrome sent my CPU usage to 100%, screen sharing was annoying and some of the options in that portal selection dialog weren't working.. Video playback in Firefox was freezing.

Switched back to X11 after an hour and things started working normally again.

Zoom wayland support isn't great but that's entirely their fault.
