I'm Using KDE Wayland Again

I used to try Wayland every once in a while and I'd always run into something that was a show stopper. Then, around October of last year, something changed and it became usable for me, so I used it into November. Then, my SSD began failing, I had bought a new SSD, re-installed openSUSE Tumbleweed, and couldn't remember how I had fixed KWallet to work with everything on Wayland. I've still tried it, off and on, and it worked for most things, just not those pesky passwords. Fast-forward to this morning and I dedicated some search time to finding the fix again. I blogged about the fix earlier, it's in the How-to category.

So I've been using Wayland again and it's really really good. I'm gonna play some games later. I'm hoping I can just use it all the time. I normally go from dev work to gaming and I don't like having to log out, re-log into X/Wayland, and vice-versa. I'm just gonna use one or the other, but I prefer Wayland if possible. Anyway, giving it a try again. I'm sure I'll blog an update some time :)

I played Overwatch 2 last night, zero issues and very stable. I'll play Counter-Strike: Source and some others tonight, maybe Splitgate, but I think it's going to be fine :D

Still no issues. The one game I used to have issues, Splitgate, I played several matches the other day and no problems at all. I have a video meeting coming up, so we'll see if that presents any issues. My only concern has been higher than normal memory usage, but it hasn't caused any performance issues. That could be more related to some of the things I've been doing for work, so could be unrelated to Wayland.
