Just installed this and (combined with xwayland 24.1) it fixes the grand majority of the xwayland issues. I assume they'll be totally gone when the kwin version with explicit sync drops.
I've seen a 5% decrease in game performance and a game crashed on me for the first time in forever after installing it, so you might want to wait for stable though
Depending on your distro I think there is kwin patches in aur for the stuff that will be in 6.1
What distro supports this and Plasma 6?
Apparently the version of Plasma that Fedora ships has the explicit sync patches backported from 6.1.
I tried Fedora KDE 40, it was hell to install the Nvidia drivers and it freezes randomly and when I play the screen goes black after some minutes and I have to restart.
Nobara
https://neon.kde.org ? Not sure if it's received this patch yet, but it ships the latest version of KDE 6.
Doesn't support the Nvidia drivers, only Nouveau.
What? I'm using neon with Nvidia's v550 driver right now. I'll try switching switching to v555 driver as linked in OP via apt once it available through Nvidia's (compatible) debian repos for Ubuntu.
Will try. Thanks!
Nvidia driver installed but how to make it use it?
