Is AMD really that much better? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hey everyone,

I'm currently rocking a 3080 I bought second hand in my Arch Linux rig. It works great under xorg but not so much wayland. There are a number of bugs and gaming performance is worse. I would like to use wayland in general for the mixed refresh rates with dual monitors. My question is: Is AMD really that much better than Nvidia? Is the AMD experience issue free with wayland? Also, how is hardware encoding with AMD? I'm particularly curious how performance is for game streaming with sunshine. I currently use nvenc hardware encoding which is amazing and feels like there is no latency. Does AMD have a similar experience?

Thanks!

Ah, I thought I saw something about that mentioned. I'll be happy to see it, I think KDE 5.x is effectively "done" which might be why it's not getting backported (though I'd still really love to see it happen if they change their minds).

For now I got some of those glasses that have the tinting on the lenses - I think they are branded as "gamer glasses" or something like that, but as silly as it sounds it's actually not bad.

Plus, on the upside apparently I look really good with glasses ha!
