Wayland is even worse mess than it normally is. Used to flicker real bad before 555.58.02, less so with the latest driver - but still has some glitches with games. A bunch of older Electron apps still fail to render anything and require hardware acceleration disabled. I gave up trying to make it all work - can't get rid of all the flicker and drawing issues, plus Wayland seems to be a real pain in the ass with HiDPI displays.

X11 sort of works, but I had to entirely disable DPMS or one of my monitors never comes back online after going to sleep. I thought it was my KVM messing up, but that happened even with a direct connection... no idea what's going on there.

CUDA works fine, save for the regular version compatibility hiccups.

4070ti super here, X11 is fine, i have zero issues.

Wayland is mostly fine, though i get some windowframe glitches when maxing them to the monitor and a another issue that i'm pretty sure is wayland but it has obnly happened a couple of times and it locks the whole device up. I cant prove it yet.
